Early mornings in Stone Town are the best. The air is still cool, the streets are relatively quiet, and you have the whole sun-drenched day ahead of you. It’s also the best time of day to indulge in Zanzibar’s Swahili-style breakfasts.
If you look closely enough, there are little nooks and crannies all over town to grab a chai tangawizi (ginger tea) or cardamon-fused ndazi (fried doughnut). Everyone, from street sweepers to school children, imams to young mothers, fishermen to government workers, have their favourite spots to fill their early morning bellies with hearty snacks.
