Alabama Butcher
About
Alabama Butcher serves Zanzibar from an address on the island in Tanzania, drawing custom from Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe. Visitors have given it 4.6 out of 5 from 36 reviews, a record that reflects steady approval among those who shop there.
Reaching the shop depends on where you are staying, since the island's main resorts spread along both the northern and eastern coasts. Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve both Zanzibar and Pemba, and light aircraft link the two islands, so arrivals by sea and air are both routine. Once on the ground, most journeys between towns are made by road.
The business trades as a butcher, supplying cuts to households and kitchens rather than running as a restaurant. Kiswahili is the main language, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech, so ordering is rarely a problem.
Zanzibar's tropical climate stays hot and humid all year, tempered by sea breezes along the coast. The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba.
