About this experience

Nightclubs in Zanzibar are late-night venues concentrated in Stone Town and along the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa, offering a mix of local and international music. These clubs operate from around 10 PM until dawn, with many featuring outdoor dance floors and views of the Indian Ocean. Visitors can expect a lively atmosphere with a blend of tourists and locals, often accompanied by live DJ sets playing Afrobeat, house, and reggae.

What to expect

Most clubs open at 10 PM and stay active until 4 AM, with peak crowds after midnight.
Entry fees range from 5,000 to 20,000 Tanzanian shillings (about $2 to $8), often including one drink.
Venues like Kendwa Rocks and Club 113 in Stone Town host themed nights such as full moon parties and reggae nights.
You will see a mix of international tourists, expatriates, and young Zanzibaris dancing to Afrobeat, house, and bongo flava.
Some beachfront clubs have open-air dance floors directly on the sand, with no dress code beyond casual beachwear.
This activity suits adults aged 18 and over who enjoy dancing, socialising, and staying up late; alcohol is served but local culture remains conservative outside club premises.
