🐘In Tanzania, besides what we are familiar with, you can also go off-road and track the great animal migration. 🐠You can also "let yourself go" on the most beautiful island in the Indian Ocean. 💎Zanzibar is known as the "pearl" and "emerald" of the Indian Ocean. 🍃People who have been to Zanzibar say "If you haven't been to Maldives or Bali yet, you haven't seen paradise." 🍃So, I suggest you not to come to Sanguibar Island first. The starting point of the sea view is too high, which will ruin your good impression of all the islands from then on. · The Rock Restaurant Dream restaurant on the rocks. · This restaurant is somewhat lonely, located on the coastline of the Indian Ocean, but that's also why it attracts tourists from all over the world ❤️. · 🌊During ebb tide, take a leisurely stroll from the beach to here; during flood tide, boats are available to transport guests. All 12 tables in the restaurant offer fantastic views of the Indian Ocean. · The Manta Resort Glass house floating on the sea surface. · Can you really fall asleep living here? If it were me, I would keep my eyes open and watch for a whole day and night! Various sea creatures swim by in front of your eyes. If you can't dive but want to explore the underwater world, this is definitely the best choice! Beach in Zanzibar Turquoise sea, milky beach. · People who have been to Zanzibar say, "If you haven't been to the Maldives or Bali, it's best not to come to Zanzibar first. The starting point for seeing the sea is too high, and it will ruin your good impression of all islands from then on." · Mnemba Island Proposal destination - Nimbah Island. · It is said that the success rate of marriage proposals here is 100%! Nimbah Island, with its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters 🌊, has become one of the most beautiful and breathtaking islands in the world.

The Rock restaurant is the best place to have both lunch and dinner 🍽 😋 #travel #travel #beachlife #staycation

Zanzibar Island is located in eastern Tanzania. It is an offshore island in the Indian Ocean. The island is rich in cloves, so it is called the "Fragrant Island." In addition to the Stone Town cultural heritage, there is also the endless sea view of the Indian Ocean. The dual beauty of culture and nature makes it a honeymoon destination for Europeans. The Rock Restaurant is built on an independent rock on the east coast of Zanzibar. It was originally a resting place for fishermen to go fishing, and later it was built into a restaurant. Now this restaurant has become one of the symbols of Zanzibar. The reason why this internet-famous restaurant is so popular is not only because of its unique shape, but also because of its very special way of entering and exiting: at high tide, the lower part of the rock will be submerged in the sea, and the restaurant seems to float alone on the blue Indian Ocean. You need to take a boat to get there! At low tide in the evening, the sea recedes to reveal the beach, and the rocks are exposed on the beach. Guests can walk directly from the beach to the restaurant. (Of course, if you want to swim before dining, you can swim there at high tide~) The Rock Restaurant is simple in architecture and has a local style. There are 12 tables in the restaurant, with both indoor dining areas and balcony areas. Guests can overlook the clear sea water while enjoying delicious food. Since it is built on the sea, the main dish must be seafood. The rich seafood platter is simply satisfying! A variety of fresh seafood, watching the sea while eating seafood, so happy~ Not only seafood, but other delicacies are also very interesting. The beef wrapped on wooden sticks with mashed potatoes is unique and delicious. The chocolate salami is rich in flavor, and the tiramisu in the coconut shell is simply a new door to taste buds! Have another cocktail with the same name as the store~ After the meal, the boss will turn the table with the waiter. The boss is an enthusiastic Milanese. If you want to express to him that the food is delicious, he will happily tell you "Give me a kiss!"~ If you have the opportunity to come to Zanzibar, come and check in at this internet-famous restaurant~~~

During my time in Zanzibar, I spend a wonderful morning exploring the Pingwe area, a hidden gem recommended by the team at our accommodation. It’s a perfect destination for anyone looking to discover a peaceful side of the island! 🏝️ The highlight of our visit was lunch at The Rock Restaurant. Situated on a small island just off the coast, the restaurant offer stunning views and an unforgettable dinning experience. Depending on the tides, you may need to take a boat to reach the island, but we were fortunate to visit during low tide, so we walked there. #localguides 🐚 The views from the restaurant were absolutely breathtaking - crystal-clear waters, endless sky, and the sound of waves made for an incredible atmosphere. #views 🦐 The food was truly exceptional. We enjoyed an array of fresh seafood dishes, including perfectly cooked lobster, tender prawns, and flavorful fish. Each dish was beautifully presented, with a focus on local ingredients and bold, fresh flavors. The flavors of Zanzibar truly shine here, and it was clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft. The homemade bread and sauces were a standout, adding a delicious touch to each bite. #localfood #foodie 🌅 After enjoying a leisurely lunch, we headed back to Nungwi for the rest of the afternoon. It was the perfect day trip, combining exploration with relaxation. #holidayvacation Tips for fellow travellers: · The area around Pingwe is peaceful and scenic - a great place to explore before heading to the restaurant. · Booking at The Rock Restaurant ahead of time is a good idea, as it’s a popular spot. · Be sure to try the fresh seafood dishes, which are the restaurant’s specialty! This day was a true highlight of our trip, and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Zanzibar. Whether you are looking for adventure, a delicious meal, or simply a beautiful place to relax, Pingwe and The Rock Restaurant will not disappoint!

#freehotelstay #Zanzibar #Travel #trip Beautiful place Z I recommend to go when high tide . They will take you on a small boat to the restaurant. You have to book it in advance ☎️. The food was very good and the cocktails tasty. I for sure recommend to visit this place to everyone who comes to Zanzibar 🌴 If you are in Zanzibar : Attractions - the rock restaurant •prison island •nakupenda sandbank •mikumi safari Hotels - kikoi boutique hotel

This restaurant has been on my list of places to visit for a while and honestly, it didn't disappoint. I had 4 days in Zanzibar and made sure to head to this spot the day after landing. I booked a tour package which included transportation to the restaurant and I loved everything about it. I had the lobster with potatoes and it was delicious!!! Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it though and only have one of the starter which was also yummy and would definitely recommend both. I'd definitely go back here and recommend it if you're visiting Zanzibar. Be sure to book your table in advance as it does get booked up!!#zanzibar
