Self Made Paintings

About

Found on Zanzibar, Self Made Paintings operates from Zanzibar, Tanzania, and reaching it from the island's main centres is straightforward, with Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe all appearing among the island's settlements.

Zanzibar places the venue on the island's main landmass, and the setting is an art business rather than a larger commercial operation. A 5 out of 5 average from 41 reviews marks it out among visitors who have called in. The gallery's online home is cagzartsgallery.com.

Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech, so a few words of greeting go a long way. Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast.

Both islands are low coral islands surrounded by reefs, with mangrove forests along parts of the coast. The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba.
