GETTING THERE & AWAY
Dalla-dalla 214 runs between Stone Town and Uroa several times daily. Sometimes you
can get this at Darajani market, but usually you need to take bus 501 (Amani Stadium) to
Mwembeladu junction, where you can pick up dalla-dalla 214. Alternatively, bus 206 (Ch-
waka) sometimes continues northwards as far as Uroa. The last departure from Uroa back
to Stone Town is at about 4pm.
PAJE
Paje is a wide, white beach at the junction where the coastal road north to Bwejuu and
south to Jambiani joins with the road from Zanzibar Town. It's built-up, with a cluster of
unremarkable places all within a few minutes' walk of each other, and a party atmosphere.
Paje is also Zanzibar's main kitesurfing centre; on fine days, the sea is filled with kitesur-
fers, often so much so that it can be difficult to find a quiet spot to swim. Contact Zanzib-
ar Kite Centre ( www.kitecentrezanzibar.com ) , south of Kitete Beach Bungalows or Air-
borne Kite Centre ( www.airbornekitecentre.com ) , north of Arabian Nights Annex. For
diving, there's Buccaneer Diving ( www.buccaneerdiving.com ) on the beach near Arabian
Nights hotel. Supaduka, at the town entrance, has internet.
