β οΈ DO NOT buy land in Zanzibar until you know...
One of the biggest mistakes international buyers make when buying land or villas in Zanzibar is ignoring the tides. π
Zanzibarβs coastline varies dramatically:
π The East Coast (Paje, Kiwengwa, Jambiani, Matemwe):
Beautiful, dramatic tides. When the water goes out, it reveals stunning sandbars (perfect for kite-surfing and reef walks), but you can't swim all day long.
π The North Coast (Nungwi, Kendwa):
Practically non-tidal. Crystal clear, deep blue water where you can swim 24 hours a day.Neither is "wrong"βbut they serve completely different types of tourists and rental strategies! If your goal is maximizing short-term holiday rentals, picking the wrong beach can hurt your occupancy rates.
Don't guess your location. Partner with advisors who actually know the coastline. π€
