Vanila
About
Vanila in Zanzibar occupies Jambiani Kibigija 203, on the south-east coast of the island. The address places it within Jambiani, one of the village stretches that line the eastern shore, with Paje and Bwejuu nearby along the same coast.
First-time visitors should expect a relaxed, coastal setting rather than a formal dining room, with the village and the shore shaping the atmosphere. Visitors have given Vanila 4.6 out of 5 across 21 reviews, a record that reflects how it is regarded by those who find it. Reaching Jambiani from Stone Town, Nungwi, Kendwa, Matemwe or Kiwayu is practical, since the island's roads link the east-coast villages back to the capital.

Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast. The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December, so visitors should time a trip around those periods.
Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve both Zanzibar and Pemba, and light aircraft link the two islands.
