About

KIDEVU SHOP, on Zanzibar, sits in Paje, a village on the island's south-east coast. First-time visitors will find the shop in the heart of Paje, an area known along the island for its beach and its steady flow of travellers. The shop holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 203 reviews, a strong record among those who have stopped by. Its Instagram profile at https://www.instagram.com/kimondo_gift_shop/profilecard/?igsh=MWFxdDNoNHdxMmxkdg== serves as its online presence.

Paje lies within easy reach of Jambiani and Bwejuu along the same stretch of coast, and Matemwe, Nungwi and Kendwa sit further north. Stone Town, the old quarter of the island's capital, is the historic centre and a common starting point for visitors heading south. From the main resorts, the village is reached by road, and the journey from Stone Town or the northern beaches takes in the island's interior. The island's weather runs hot and humid through the year, with coastal breezes tempering the heat.

Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon, and the island's markets reflect that trade. The coolest, driest months are June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the southeast. Zanzibar red colobus monkeys are found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba.

KIDEVU SHOP occupies its place in Paje, a village that anchors the southern stretch of the island's east coast.
