Zanzibar South Coast

Kizimkazi is the destination for most tourists wishing to stay on the Southern tip of Zanzibar. It was once the capital when the island was under the power of the pre-Omani Wawinyi Wakuu and is considered to be the oldest habitation on the island. Kizimkazi is most loved by tourists for its dolphin tours. For those in search of a cultural experience Kizimkazi is where East Africa’s oldest mosque can be found. Unlike any other, non-Muslims can visit this place of worship.

There are a number of lodges and restaurants in the area as it is popular among day-trippers. This means it is not as secluded as one might expect, but it does mean there is choice for dining and drinking.
