Location
Jambiani is a wonderful spot to chill and enjoy being able to have activities and movement when wanted but also some chilled time if that is your thing.
Zanzibar
Please note that Zanzibar is a wonderful island with some limitations. Power supply is not always reliable and blackouts can happen. Enjoy the beauty of nature, that brings some insects with it as they are in the tropics. They believe in sustainability and apply the principles in all their activities.
Coming to Zanzibar means taking time for yourself and relaxing. Leave your worries at home and enjoy the hakuna matata (no problem) philosophy. Things are often slow (pole pole) but see the bright side - that gives you time to enjoy things you wouldn't even notice. Karibu (welcome)!
