Kwa Kaali

4.6(81 reviews)

About

Kwa Kaali, on Zanzibar, keeps its premises in Nungwi 73107, at the northern tip of the island where the beach villages of Nungwi and Kendwa draw most of the visitors. Stone Town, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe are the other settlements that frame a stay on this coast.

First-time visitors should expect a small, locally run shop where the stock and the conversation are both rooted in the neighbourhood. An average of 4.6 out of 5 from 81 reviews suggests people leave satisfied often enough to say so. The website at https://kaizanzibar.com/ carries more of what the place offers.

Reaching Nungwi from Stone Town takes a drive up the island's western side, and the village is the end point of that route rather than a stop along it. From the southern beaches at Paje or Jambiani, the trip crosses most of Zanzibar.

Kiswahili is the everyday language, with English widely used in tourism, so a greeting in Kiswahili goes a long way. June to October brings the kusi wind from the southeast and the coolest, driest conditions of the year, which suits anyone planning long days outdoors.
