With its rich history and culture, Zanzibar Island is a stunning seaside destination for a fun-filled, yet leisurely travel in East Africa.

The lush greenery of the island offers a striking contrast to the sands and ocean together creating an atmosphere of tranquility and calm. Located on the picturesque seashore in Matemwe on the northeast shore of the island is the Matemwe Beach Village. Offering close proximity to the Mnemba Atoll, one of the finest sites for snorkel and dive excursions in Zanzibar, this economy accommodation is run by Gail and Gary, and is ideal for laidback AfricanMecca guests looking for comfortable living areas with a complete focus on the lures of a splendid beach vacation in the tropical expanses. Do not arrive here to expect a luxury or deluxe experience. Lounge beside their free form swimming pool that also has a shaded nook or make your way to the beachfront to laze in quaint rope sun-beds for a natural tanning session. Thatched roofs and white-washed walls lend a rustic yet agreeable ambience to the lodge while traditional Swahili furniture adds the comfort.

The lower floor has the bedroom with Zanzibari four-poster bed and ensuite bathroom while the upper floor has wall-adjoining loungers that can be used as single beds for younger children. The daybeds swinging from the roof are perfect for languorous afternoon siestas. Budget honeymooner guests looking for larger, unpretentious living spaces while on their AfricanMecca tour of Tanzania can stay at the Asali Suite that includes a lounge, kitchenette, plunge pool and dining area. The lodge offers you distinct sites for dining e.g. around the pool, privately in the evening on the beach or primarily in their thatch covered restaurant with rustic tables and chairs that embraces its soft sandy floor. When not spending time on your dream holiday in Zanzibar lazing on the beaches, you could go exploring the old-world capital of the island, Stone Town. The cultural hub of the city, it has many yesteryear buildings that will enchant you with their architectural, historical and cultural appeal. Take home artifacts, fabrics and beautiful jewelry from its tiny shops. Later, you could visit the Jozani Forest to view the red colobus monkey and delight in its antics. Zanzibar also has spice plantations where many infused varieties have been grown for centuries. You could also view and sample some of the delectable fruit like bungo, fenesi or shoki-shoki, some of which are unique to the island. Go snorkeling and scuba diving to revel in the underwater coral gardens of Mnemba Atoll or on deep sea fishing trips off the northern deep coast of Zanzibar, truly memorable experiences of your discerning travels in Africa.
