Good to know

Getting thereFly into Zanzibar (ZNZ), about 45 minutes by car to Paje on the east coast.

HazardsA big tidal range — the lagoon can go from deep to walkable-shallow over a few hours, and reef is exposed at low tide.

Best time of dayCheck the tide chart alongside the wind — low tide exposes reef in places, so the best window depends on both.
