Best nightclubs Pajé

It's the only real club in Pajé, and indeed on the south-east coast of Zanzibar! Why Not Club is located on the premises of Jambo Jambo, where the big Friday night party takes place, but is aimed at those who like electro clubs to extend the evening beyond midnight, with open-air parties turning off the sound early so as not to disturb the neighbors. Here, you're in the acoustically isolated club until late at night! The international DJs who play here are listed on the Resident Advisor website, proof of the quality of the programming.

Finally an electro club in Zanzibar! It was born in Pajé, where the "fun & cool" atmosphere is blossoming in new places. B4, the latest addition, is a bar-club that pushes sound between the palm trees, with its feet in the sand. What a setting! Even better: it's a kitesurfing club during the day and a boumboum and good cocktails with fresh fruit in the evening. Especially on Saturdays, an international DJ (from Berlin, London, Paris...) plays behind the decks attracting Europeans on a hike, Masai, Tanzanian mainlanders and locals who come to pound the sand together in front of the bass.

Jambo New Bungalow, north of Pajé, is a cheap (and recommendable) hotel that has built a huge makuti hut for its toes-in-the-sand bar, right on the beach. This is where a big party is held every Friday, mixing African hip-hop, the latest Latino and mainstream international hits until the morning. Nothing trendy here, but a nice party where Swahilis and Maasais mingle with tourists. Good atmosphere, festive, conducive to discussions. Good fresh fruit cocktails served along a friendly bar.

We wouldn't recommend staying at the hotel, especially at weekends when there are hectic pool parties and BBQ evenings punctuated by the beats of Stone Town DJs distilling excellent Naija music and South African and Tanzanian amapiano. You can dance the night away (watch your bags, it's very tight) and throw yourself in the pool until the early hours of the morning - everyone's there, locals and tourists alike. Other themed evenings are organized on Saturdays (happy hour, white night). The crowd is very young.
