shangani sea view is set at the heart of stone town near the famous forodhani gardens its right next to Africa house, we are one minutes away from the where you can see the sunset we are also a walking distance to the lukmaan restaurant 5mns away, basically near everything as the whole of the stone town is approximately a square kilometer square and we are right at the middle of it all.
i started off as a taxi driver (still am) since 2001 and hosting since 2010, i was born and raised in stone town i am very interested to see and meet new people all the times share the travel experiences, as i dont live on the house the guests can enjoy interactions with other guests on the lounging area and i am always around if needed.
the palace museum, the forodhani gardens, the slave market,the old fort freddie mercurys house the tippu tipp house the memories of zanzibar to mention a few are all within 5 to 10 minutes from the property plus the gorgeous stone town beach which is less than a minute away
