Kwa Mago

5.0(14 reviews)

About

On Zanzibar, Kwa Mago occupies a spot on Gizenga St, in the heart of Stone Town's busy lanes. The venue is known for its stock of goods that draws local shoppers and curious travellers alike.

First-time visitors should expect a compact, hands-on setup where browsing is part of the visit, with staff on hand along the street. A 5 out of 5 score from 14 reviews reflects a small but satisfied base of customers. Stone Town itself is the main hub, and ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve Zanzibar, so reaching the venue from the island's resorts is straightforward.

Nearby Nungwi and Kendwa sit on the northern coast, while Paje, Jambiani and Bwejuu line the east. Light aircraft link Zanzibar with Pemba for onward travel.

Zanzibar's long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December, so drier months suit a visit. Cloves are grown on both islands, and Pemba produces much of Tanzania's clove crop. The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba.
