Zanzibar Yetu

About

Zanzibar Yetu in Zanzibar sits on Kenyatta Rd in Zanzibar, Tanzania, close to the historic core of Stone Town. The shop occupies a position that puts the old town's lanes, waterfront and market traffic within walking distance for anyone staying in the area. It trades as a gift shop, with a stock that suits travellers looking for something to carry home. What it is known for is the strength of its feedback: the five reviews recorded so far average a full 5 out of 5, a record that is rare at any scale. First-time visitors should expect a compact shop rather than a large store, and a browse that rewards asking questions about individual pieces. Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism, so conversations are usually easy. The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December, which is worth knowing when planning a shopping stop. Other parts of the island, from Nungwi and Kendwa in the north to Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe along the east coast, lie further out and are reached by road.
