Pole Pole
About
Pole Pole in Zanzibar is a bar set in Nungwi 10000, Tanzania, on the northern stretch of the island. The name matches the pace of the place, and the bar draws a steady crowd looking for a relaxed evening. Nungwi sits close to Kendwa, so the two northern villages share a stretch of coast that stays busy after dark.
As a bar, Pole Pole serves drinks in a setting that suits the northern tip of Zanzibar. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 56 reviews suggests a solid following among visitors who make the trip north. Stone Town, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe are all within reach for anyone touring the island. Nungwi and Kendwa form the main nightlife cluster in the north.
Opening hours run from early evening until late, giving visitors a long window to settle in. The bar sits in Nungwi, where the beach road fills with people after sunset. Drinks are the focus here, and the atmosphere builds as the evening goes on.
For first-time visitors, Zanzibar's tropical climate stays hot and humid all year, with sea breezes taking the edge off along the coast. Dalla-dalla minibuses and boda-boda motorcycle taxis are the usual way to get around, and traffic drives on the left. Nungwi is a common base for the north, so a night at Pole Pole fits easily into a stay there.
