Livingstone's
About
On Zanzibar, Livingstone's is a local business. The restaurant occupies House 48 Shangani St, Zanzibar 3661, Tanzania, placing it in the historic Shangani quarter of Stone Town, where carved doors, narrow lanes and a waterfront setting shape the surroundings. First-time visitors should expect a relaxed restaurant in a heritage building rather than a polished hotel dining room, with the address itself signalling a central, walkable location.
Livingstone's has drawn a 3.9 out of 5 rating from 846 reviews, a large and mixed body of feedback that reflects steady traffic rather than a small loyal following. The restaurant's website is http://www.livingstoneszanzibar.com/, and five photographs illustrate the listing. Its position on Shangani St puts it within the Stone Town area, and nearby places such as Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe sit elsewhere on the island.
Reaching the restaurant from the main resorts or towns on Zanzibar is feasible because the Indian Ocean islands are served by international flights and inter-island ferries and flights. Travellers based in the northern or eastern coastal villages can reach Stone Town by road or by boat, and the restaurant's Shangani St address makes it a natural stop for anyone already in the capital.
Zanzibar and the surrounding Indian Ocean islands have a tropical climate, with the drier season generally running from May to September. Food on the island blends fresh seafood with South Asian, African, and French influences, and the main languages include English, French, and local languages, which makes ordering straightforward for most visitors. International flights and inter-island ferries and flights connect the islands, so a meal at Livingstone's can fit into a wider island route.
