Hotels in Unguja South Region, Tanzania

Unguja South Region lies on Zanzibar's southern end, where the Indian Ocean stays warm year-round (75-85°F / 24-29°C), famous for tide-dependent beaches like Paje and Jambiani. During the dry June-to-October season, you can kiteboard across turquoise flats or swim with bottlenose dolphins off Kizimkazi, while the rainy November-to-May months bring cheaper room rates and lush green villages perfect for walking to the 18th-century ruins at Jozani Forest. The east coast buzzes with budget guesthouses and wind sports, but the south's quieter Michamwi offers mangrove kayaking-pick based on your wallet and thrill level.
