Kiponda Annex II
About
Kiponda Annex II serves Zanzibar from Jamatini Rd, with Stone Town's old quarter on its doorstep.
Guests have given Kiponda Annex II 4.2 out of 5 across 103 reviews, a solid record for a guest house in Stone Town. The location on Jamatini Rd puts it inside the historic quarter, so the harbour, markets and coral-stone lanes sit within walking distance. Travellers heading on to Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje or Matemwe can arrange onward transport from Stone Town without crossing the island first. This is a guest house, and its website at http://kiponda.com/ carries the booking details.
Zanzibar and Pemba share a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast, so light clothing suits most stays. Bwejuu, Jambiani and Kiwayu sit further along the coast for travellers extending a trip beyond the capital.
Stone Town itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built from coral stone, and Taarab music, with its orchestras and sung poetry, remains part of life on both islands. The old quarter's lanes make walking the natural way to reach the waterfront and the surrounding streets.
