Treetop by Eight Continents, Zanzibar

Treetop by Eight Continents, Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent
"Very welcoming and friendly staff; restaurant went out of their way to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The property is kept very clean and well staffed. If you want a break from the crowded touristy areas of Zanzibar; I highly recommend Treetop. Just be aware that off property it’s a distance to find restaurants or proper markets. But Treetop is so good for a quiet restful stay in Zanzibar. It’s also very close to Jozani Forest which is a major attraction for nature and wildlife "

Jaws corner is a place where the locals gather to discuss politics and other things or just drink a cup of coffee. This corner is located somewhere in the maze like streets of Stone Town, on Zanzibar. It is a pleasure getting lost in all the tiny alleys while talking to some locals and looking at all the amazing doors and buildings. #zanzibar #tanzania #streetart
