Kinazi Upepo
About
Kinazi Upepo, on Zanzibar, sits in Paje, a village on the island's south-east coast where the tide pulls far out over the reef. First-time visitors can expect a base in Paje itself, with the beach village's own rhythm of dive shops, kite schools and sand tracks close at hand.
Guests have given Kinazi Upepo 3.8 out of 5 across 108 reviews, a mixed but substantial record for a property in this part of Zanzibar. The setting places it within reach of several well-known points on the island: Stone Town and Nungwi lie to the north, while Kendwa, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe spread along the coast. Paje's position on the east coast means the main resorts and towns are connected by road, so arrivals from Stone Town or the northern beaches are straightforward by vehicle.
The island's Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon, which shapes what visitors eat during a stay. Kiswahili is the main language of Zanzibar, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech.
Zanzibar has a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast, so light clothing suits most stays. The island is low coral terrain surrounded by reefs, with mangrove forests along parts of the coast.
