I love my guests, they bring me so much joy and knowledge about different parts of the world.
Jambiani beach has turquoise waters with a laid-back vibe. A beach with powdery sand, clear blue water, calm seas, a constant light breeze, and only an occasional salesperson (who will be friendly and fun to chat with). You can swim in the sea during high tide. At low tide, you can explore the sea floor with corals, colourful tropical fish and other sea creatures - beach shows are indispensable for this experience. There is also kite surfing, snorkeling, boat excursions and other activities on the beach. Jambiani village, where you will have the chance to experience rural Zanzibar life. Walking around the village you will see women doing pottery and handicrafts, seaweed farming, local school, and you can visit local herbs doctors. Inside the village, there are many small local restaurants where you will taste authentic Zanzibari cuisine, seasoned with many spices and herbs or have drinks at prices way below the exorbitant restaurants and bars on the beach. You can hire a bicycle or motorbike to explore the village and the surroundings.
