Zanzibar has a lot to offer. Its night market is one of its charms.To enjoy the market, get to historic Stone Town. Spend a few hours there, exploring the labyrinths, the\u00a0baths and the town. Work up a great appetite and then head down to the night market. The market takes\u00a0place in the Forodhani Gardens and it is a space to truly understand the country and its culture. The night\u00a0market is all about atmosphere and all about food. It\u2019s vibrant, redolent with the cultures and the people\u00a0who have made the country their home and is a happy place for everyone to visit.<\/p>\n
The night market is a haunt for the locals \u2013 families and children come here, as do the tourists and visitors.The chefs put on a show and the result is not only delicious food, but a truly unique experience.Here, you\u2019ll be greeted with sights, smells and sounds that will send all your emotions and senses into\u00a0overload. A wide variety of food is on display. Enjoy the unusual Zanzibari pizza \u2013 an interesting take on the\u00a0regular pizza, this one can be compared to a pancake and comes with any number of toppings. Top it off
\nwith kebabs, buy some meat sticks and you\u2019re good to go. Or get the sweet Nutella one and indulge your\u00a0sweet tooth.<\/p>\n
You must try the Urojo \u2013 a soup that\u2019s made of tamarind and mango. It goes so well with chutney, spicy hot\u00a0sauce, chickpea fritters, cassava shards and boiled potatoes. This is a dish that hits all the right spots.Zanzibar is known for its seafood and you should try out the lobster, the octopus and the fish \u2013 every single\u00a0dish has something special to offer.There is a lot of talk online about the freshness of the fish on offer. This is something to think about, so\u00a0please exercise caution. If it doesn\u2019t feel right, don\u2019t eat it!<\/p>\n
Another dish to try is the Zanzibar Mix, a soup but more than a soup. It is a broth but comes with a whole\u00a0lot more. You can choose your fritters, or maybe vegetables like potato, cassava or lettuce, some shredded\u00a0coconut and tangy green mango. All this goes at the bottom of the bowl and is redolent with turmeric. It\u2019s all\u00a0topped up with a delicious broth. The coconut bread is wonderful to eat, sweet and delicious. Try also the\u00a0grilled version of the sweet potatoes and the spicy bananas.Drinks are a plenty too. We suggest that you carry bottled water with you but do try the sugarcane juice- it\u2019s\u00a0refreshing and delicious. Try it with lime and chili. The local beers are great too- try the Kilimanjaro!\u00a0Masala chai, spicy tea and best served sweetened with sugar, is a good accompaniment to the massive\u00a0samosa and the other snacks.<\/p>\n
If you stay at Kichanga Lodge, one of the luxury hotels in Zanzibar on the beach, you\u2019re only 40 minutes\u00a0away from Stone Town. You can do a trip there each night if you\u2019d like! It\u2019s that convenient. After a night of\u00a0great indulgence, let any one of the beautifully appointed bungalows or Villas at the Lodge serve as a place\u00a0of relaxation and recuperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
