Mwasum Star
About
In Zanzibar, Mwasum Star sits on the East Coast of Zanzibar in Kiwengwa, a stretch of coastline on the island's eastern shore. The venue's identity is tied to Kiwengwa, one of the island's established coastal areas. The East Coast of Zanzibar, Kiwengwa, Zanzibar, Tanzania, places it along the Indian Ocean-facing side of the island.
Mwasum Star has built a following among visitors, with a 4.6 out of 5 average across 122 reviews. The venue's website, http://www.shootingstarlodge.com/, provides a direct point of reference for those planning a stop. Nearby places such as Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe sit within the island's wider network, and Kiwengwa's position on the east coast makes it reachable from the main arrival points.
First-time visitors will find the setting anchored to the Kiwengwa area, where the coast shapes the daily rhythm. The coolest, driest months run from June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the southeast, a period that suits time spent outdoors. Taarab music, with orchestras and sung poetry, remains a living part of life on the Swahili coast.
Zanzibar and Pemba share a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast. Cloves are grown on both islands, with Pemba producing much of Tanzania's clove crop. Mwasum Star's location in Kiwengwa makes it a practical reference point for travellers moving along the island's eastern edge.
