Zanzibar

Paje

Paje is a village in Zanzibar in Tanzania. It is on the east coast of Zanzibar Island (Unguja).

Taking a minibus from airport takes 1 hour and costs approximately $60. Just when you leave airport, taxi or minibus will cost much less - around $40. The local bus transportation (named dala-dala) is much cheaper - Tsh 1500, and not much slower, but surely less comfortable. Use a taxi or minibus and you can enjoy sightseeing and air condition, but use dala-dala, if you want to chat with local people and get many interesting suggestions for trips or destination!

As Paje is a village more then 5km long, it is better to tell the driver the name of hotel where you plan to stay or a closer direction. If you have not decided for a certain accomodation yet, do not rely on drivers decision - he will drive directly to most expensive hotel... Or hop off on the crossroad in Paje (actually a roundabout with a big red supermarket nearby) and you can walk only about 100 meters to the beach.
