Lindi Oceanic Hotel HOTEL $$
( 023-220 2829; Waterfront road; s/d/ste Tsh50,000/80,000/150,000; ) This new-
ish hotel has a prime location on the waterfront just down from the harbour but, although
relatively new, room facilities are already faded. All have one double bed, and there's a
restaurant. The suites have balconies.
EATING & DRINKING
Lindi isn't distinguished for its dining options, but you can get some delicious grilled fish.
Otherwise, the menu is usually chicken with rice or ugali (a staple made from maize or cas-
sava flour, or both). Places to try include Himo-One (Jamhuri St; meals Tsh4000) , with
a good menu selection, reasonably fast service and no alcohol; Muna's (Amani St; meals
Tsh3500) , a few blocks up from the harbour; and Santorini (Santolin; Waterfront road;
meals from Tsh3500) , which is behind the stadium in the Mikumbi area near the water,
and a good place for a drink. The best street food is at the bus stand. For finer dining,
try the restaurant at Lindi Oceanic Hotel ( 023-220 2829; Waterfront road; meals from
Tsh10,000) , with large, tasty portions of grilled chicken and fish.
