Where to stay in Zanzibar
- Stone Town — historic, walkable, main coworking hub, less beach-focused
- Paje — east coast, kitesurfing crowd, good wifi, lively at night
- Jambiani — quieter beach south of Paje, fewer tourists
- Nungwi — north coast, busiest beach scene, less suited to focused work
Getting around
Dala-dala minibuses and boda-boda motorbike taxis cover the island cheaply but slowly; many nomads rent a scooter; the airport is near Stone Town, 1-1.5 hours to Paje or Nungwi.
