LangiLangi Beach Bungalows is located in Nungwi and is one of the best hotels in the area. The restaurant serves the best food in Nungwi and the staff are just excellent. The pool and beach are the best part of the hotel.

Small ecological island reserve 40 minutes off Zanzibar. Only 14 tourists at any time, staying in romantic beach bandas stylishly constructed from natural materials.

One of the finest beaches on Zanzibar, the best food I sampled and superlative nature trails in the mangrove forest and over best coral in east Africa. Relatively expensive but a must for any holiday, particularly a honeymoon.

Shehe bungalows offers very comfortable beach bungalows. They are very close to the white sandy beach.

Me and my wife stayed in one of their sea-facing bungalows for four weeks. We liked it a lot. The bungalows are simple but very clean. It also has very friendly and helpful staff.

They also have a lovely beach-front bar and restaurant.

It is located at the southern side of Jambiani village, on the east coast of Zanzibar.

I stayed here for a week with my girlfriend and I have to say it was the most beautiful beach I have even seen and was the nearest thing to paradise - 16 rooms tucked into a small cove, with an infinity swimming pool to use when the tide is out.

The food was excellent and staff very welcoming. Highly recommended!

The dolphins, lovely and wild as they are, won't hang about when 4 motorboats are roaring excitedly towards them. If you want some quality time with them, head to Kizimkazi for 2pm on a dalla-dalla bus, offer the local boys $10 - $15 for snorkel, mask and fins and time with the dolphins, just you and 1 or 2 others. The dolphins will feel more relaxed (the males seem rather non-plussed anyway) and will respond up-close and personal.

Oh, and don't buy any coral or shell souvenirs.

Across from the market in Stone town you will find all the dalla-dallas - the ubiquitous toyota minibuses - just find one with Kizimkazi on the front. Don't forget to ask what time the last dalla-dalla leaves to return to Stone town (usually between 5 - 6pm)

If you're visiting Paje on the East Coast of Zanzibar you have to visit Mr
Chaamu's restaurant.

An enterprising one-man band, he has set up 3 tables under cover on the beach and offers fantastic seafood dishes with traditional breads.
Bring your own beverages and be sure to book in advance as he sources everything on the day.

Also, ask about his early morning fishing trips. He will take up to 4 people out on his boat to catch the restaurant's fish for the day. He then cooks your catch for you and all of this is done at a fraction of the cost of similar trips at nearby
hotels. An absolute highlight of our holiday!

North of the Paje dive site, 10 min walk along the beach

A relaxed beach resort on the stunning Matemwe Beach, which is affordable if you don't want to go all out for the top of the range Matemwe Beach Bungalows. Rooms are on the small side but at $200 a night including dinner, the four beautiful suites are good value. There is fabulous diving and snorkelling to be had on the nearby Mnemba Atoll and the on-site dive centre organises daily trips.

Staff are lovely and friendly, and the food is excellent. The local village is extremely poor, however, and the lodge could do a little more in terms of development work.

We arrived on New Year's Eve and found all the accommodation full! Contemplating sleeping on the beach we came across Chris who worked at the diving school. A quick phone call to Poland and five minutes later we had a room with a four-poster bed in an amazing house right on the beach. Amazing sunsets watched from Cholo's, fresh fish from the makeshift market and a sublime atmosphere. Enjoy!

Take a private taxi from Stone Town.
