Original Teddy's Place

3.9(21 reviews)

About

Found on Zanzibar, Original Teddy's Place sits at Paje Zanzibar East Coast, Tanzania Paje, 72110, Tanzania. Paje lies on the island's east coast, a village known for its long stretch of beach and steady winds. The hostel is within reach of Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe along the island's roads.

Guests have rated the hostel 3.9 out of 5 across 21 reviews, a modest but steady record. Paje anchors the property on the east coast, a location that places it within the island's main beach circuit. Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon, and the village's kitchens follow that tradition.

Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast. The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba. Pemba is hillier and greener than Zanzibar and receives more rain, with fewer visitors.
