Asante Sana beach

Asante Sana is a small beach in the northwest of Zanzibar island, Tanzania. Everything is pretty nice ashore, but there are stones only in the water. There is also problem of strong low tides being typical for the island. As a result, the beach is totally unsuitable for swimming. The good news is a live baobab piled up on the sand in the south end of the beach. This is quite unique for the whole coast of Zanzibar. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Milele Villas Zanzibar is a 3-star resort with rooms' rates starting from US$300 per night (in fact a whole villa of 300 square meters). Asante Sana Beach Cottages is a 2-star hotel with rooms' rates starting from US$130 per night. Both are too expensive, since the location is very bad.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Zanzibar international airport (ZNZ). Next hire a taxi.

At the current time, there are many direct flights to Zanzibar. So connections flight via Dar es Salaam makes sense only in case, if you plan a safari on the mainland.

When to go [edit]

Feel free to relax in Zanzibar any time of year - except for the pronounced rainy season in April.
