Mpole
About
Meet Mpole, a local business in Zanzibar, a guest house set in Michamvi Kae, Tanzania. First-time visitors should expect simple guest-house accommodation on the island's east coast rather than a large hotel complex.
Guests give Mpole a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 101 reviews, a strong score for a small guest house. Reaching it from the main resorts and towns is feasible by road, with Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe all lying within the island's road network. Michamvi Kae sits on the eastern side of Zanzibar, a quieter stretch away from the busier northern beaches.

Five photos accompany the property. Zanzibar and Pemba share a tropical climate, hot and humid through the year with sea breezes along the coast.
The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, while the shorter vuli rains arrive in November and December. Zanzibar was once the seat of the Omani sultanate and a dhow-trade hub before uniting with Tanganyika in 1964 to form Tanzania. Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon.
