Here in Zanzibar you soon learn to appreciate the detail. You can travel half way across the island to visit a village, to find on arrival that the only life there is the goats and ducks by the roadside. Only once you have strolled around the little bay, found the shade, nattered with the local fishermen and watched the boats bob up and down on the lagoon do you start to think it may not have been a wasted journey. Later, after having a drink at the local shop, watching a boat unload its exotic catch of shark and octopus and marvelled at some enormous baobab trees, you finally depart to arrive back at base having had an excellent day out.

Similarly, as evening draws on at the guesthouse or lodge, the locals produce their bao and draughts boards and the night passes gently with a drink and a laugh. There seems no need for any greater entertainment.

There are those who do not see this Zanzibar. Those who fly in from distant countries and are whisked away to resort hotels. For these people, Zanzibar is a picturesque back-drop for their holiday, but its sights are unspectacular, its infrastructure poor and its people are nameless faces. These unfortunate visitors never gain the benefit of slowing to Zanzibari life and absorbing the Zanzibari style.

It is out around the island of Unguja that you will meet the real Zanzibar. The country people, as is commonly the case, are genuine, modest and reserved towards strangers. But for those visitors who make the effort to break the ice, they will be met with an incomparable hospitality and a wonderful sense of humour. For this reason it is invaluable to travel with a Swahili speaker, for although the barriers of language can be partially overcome, a deeper appreciation can only be obtained through idle conversation.
                                                                                                                    Hotels  
Unguja is easy to get around, whether on a public bus, by bicycle, hired car or minibus. All journeys are easily navigated and negotiated with the assistance of a good map. There is some excellent accommodation in a few small pockets on Zanzibar, but it can take some finding in amongst a fair amount of mediocrity and booking in advance is essential for the best places, which are usually full all year round. Whether looking for a few days on the beach or an intense traveller's itinerary, it would be very difficult not to have a good time on Unguja.
