Market Backpackers
About
Market Backpackers serves Zanzibar from Jambiani, a village on the island's south-east coast. Guests have rated the hostel 4.8 out of 5 from 116 reviews, a high score for budget accommodation on the island. The venue sits within reach of Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Bwejuu and Matemwe, so both the historic capital and the main beach resorts are accessible.
Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve both Zanzibar and Pemba, and light aircraft link the two islands, which makes getting to the archipelago straightforward. Jambiani itself is known for its long stretch of sand and its tidal lagoon, and the village has a quieter feel than the northern resorts.
Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech.
Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast, so light clothing and sun protection are sensible throughout the year.
