Rent a holiday apartment in Mangapwani

Renting a holiday apartment in Mangapwani puts a local focus on the coast, caves and history. Mangapwani is located on Unguja on Zanzibar’s northwest coast, about 25 kilometres north of Stone Town. As a place to stay, it is particularly suitable if you want to experience these themes locally and choose the location of your accommodation based on your planned excursion route.

Mangapwani between coast and history

The name Mangapwani is explained as meaning “Arabian Shore”; at the same time, the coast is associated with several caves. The Coral Cavern is located south of Mangapwani, along with a historic chamber. The caves and chambers point to the troubled history of slavery and the slave trade in Zanzibar. For travellers, the focus is therefore on the coast, caves and history.

Which location suits your trip

If the coastal and cave experiences around Mangapwani are your priority, choose your accommodation based on its actual location in relation to your planned excursion route. Access to the coast and cave described may involve an unmarked turnoff followed by a walk. The location of your chosen accommodation should therefore match the intended transport and walking route.

Additional cultural, spice and marine destinations in Zanzibar can complement the local focus. If you would like to combine such island experiences, compare holiday apartments and holiday homes based on their location and the features that are important for your planned route.
