Directions

Kuza Cave is about 45 minutes drive from Stonetown, or eight minutes from Paje, Zanzibar. You can take a  bus (Dalla Dalla) to Jambiani and tell the  driver you want to get off at Kibigija – it is after Spice Island hotel. The Dalla Dalla to Jambiani is number 309 and it leaves every hour from outside Mwanakwerekwe  market.

Kuza Cave is near the first turn-off in Jambiani at  Kibigija.  If you are coming from Stonetown, turn right at the Kuza Cave sign at the first Jambiani turn off where there is a cement bus stop on the corner, a mosque and a few shops. Follow this dirt road a few hundred metres to find Kuza Cave. You will pass an orange and white kindergarten, then take a  right to keep following the dirt road and then you will see the entrance to Kuza Cave. We are happy to meet you at the main road turn off. Just call us for assistance. We can organise a car to pick you up from your hotel or Stonetown.

Commission

We offer bulk tour operators who bring guests frequently or large groups commission on half and full-day tours.

Safety & Access

The property can be accessed by car or bus. We have improved the road on the way to Kuza Cave and will do some more work after the short rains are finished.

There are stairs and a rope to assist a safe passage. People of general fitness can manage the steps. In rainy times the rocks can be slippery and  people need to be slow and careful. If people have problems with large steps or uneven surfaces  they will find it very difficult. The water is about 4 meters deep in some places and there are steep areas and wildlife so young children must be supervised. A first aid kit is available.

What do you make in the Cooking Lesson?

We make a full meal with local ingredients of Beef fillet, fish, chicken or available seafood. The main dish is served with ugali or coconut rice or spicy rice. We are happy to cater for dietary requiremetns or preferences. It takes about 90 mintes to cook and then 30 minutes for eating the lunch together.

The cave is easy and safe to access by a small bridge and stairs
