Zanzibar
Reef, sandbars, spice farms and a stone city that is beautiful and almost entirely inaccessible.
What the ground is like
The part that decides whether a journey works.
| Ground conditions | The coast is flat. Beach approaches are sand, and the tide range is large enough to change what a beach day means. |
|---|---|
| Best months | June to March. The long rains in April and May are genuinely unpleasant on the east coast. |
| Access notes | A hard path to the sand is rarer here than it should be, and we choose properties on exactly that. Stone Town is not navigable by chair and we say so. |
