The Village Market
About
On Zanzibar, The Village Market (Kiwengwa) occupies Kiwengwa Zanzibar, Kiwengwa 89009, Tanzania, on the island's north-eastern coast. It is known as a grocery serving the Kiwengwa area, and it keeps its doors open around the clock every day of the week.
First-time visitors should expect a practical village shop rather than a large supermarket, with the kind of everyday provisions that a stay on the coast calls for. Visitors have given it 4 out of 5 from 111 reviews, a steady return for a local grocery.
Kiwengwa sits on the coast north of Stone Town, and Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe are all on the same island. Dalla-dalla minibuses and boda-boda motorcycle taxis are common, and traffic drives on the left, so getting to Kiwengwa from the main resorts is a matter of the island's road network.
Islam is the religion of the large majority, and Ramadan, Eid and Friday prayers shape the weekly rhythm, which is worth keeping in mind when planning errands. Its Instagram account, https://instagram.com/tvm_kiwengwa, carries further reference.
