The Island Pongwe Lodge

This travel guide to Zanzibar (also known as Unguja Island) is the result of my experience as a solo female traveler in this part of Tanzania and dozens of hours of research. I have included activities and day trips ranging from historical, architectural and cultural sites, as well as other activities such as diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, cave exploring, visits to lush, green forests, and safaris that you can do from Zanzibar. I have also included specific information on Zanzibar's most beautiful and tourist-friendly coastal areas (Nungwi, Jambiani, Paje, Kiwengwa, Pongwe and Bwejuu), such as: what activities are best suited to each area, as well as different accomodation and eating out options in each beach destination. Most importantly, I have included valuable information on travel safety, visas, entry requirements, local currency and how to get around Zanzibar Island. This way, you don't have to be too bothered by the logistics and more boring aspects of travel planing. I've got you covered! This guide is divided into sections so you can read the entire guide or go to the sections that interest you the most. It also includes an interactive map and it's mobile friendly, so you can access all the info you need on your phone. And, most importantly, this is a living guide, so I will update this at no extra cost to you. Happy travels!
