United Petrolium

3.7(62 reviews)

About

United Petrolium serves Zanzibar from a base on the island, with a 3.7 out of 5 average drawn from 62 reviews. The address sits within Zanzibar, Tanzania, and the venue operates as a fuel stop for drivers moving around the island.

Reaching it from the main resorts and towns is straightforward for anyone with a vehicle, since Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe are all connected by the island's road network. Across 62 reviews the average stands at 3.7 out of 5, a mixed but broadly positive record.

Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast, so a stop for fuel is often part of a longer day of moving between the beaches and the towns. Taarab music, with orchestras and sung poetry, originated on the Swahili coast and remains popular on both islands.

The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba, which makes the islands distinctive for wildlife as well as for their coastline.
