Kilimo Kidogo on Zanzibar

So as you know Lover and I stayed at Paje by Night, which was lovely..but all in all it was expensive, and we did our fare share of the area looking for other spots to entertain ourselves.
One semi rainy afternoon Jonathan and I decided to walk all the way down the beach to the right of where were staying. We ended up discovering Kilimo Kidogo all the way at the end, as far as we could go before there was a curve of land and ocean keeping us from walking any further. We stumbled up the sandy walk after what was I suppose a mile walk there. I went inside to look at their menu, and was warmly greeted by Dina, the owner. She has bright red/orange koolaide coloured hair, and piercing blue eyes. She is a South African woman who roles every R to an amazing degree, and makes English sound wild. I loved her immediately!
After a brief look at the menu, which as a vegetarian I was quite pleased with, we decided to sit and have a cocktail at the outside bar to rest after our walk. It was there that we met Mark, Dina's nephew who is also from South Africa.
What luck for us, since our next stop was South Africa. We ended up be-friending Mark, and went back to Kilimo Kidogo to hang out quite often. Mark and Dina gave us all sorts of good info for our travels here in Cape Town and through South Africa, and we could not be happier with their insight. The drinks at Kilimo Kidogo were cheaper than where we were staying, and the food was delectable. I had a vegetable curry in coconut sauce with spiced rice more than once there, and enjoyed every delectable last bite!! There is also a pool table there that you can play for free vs. the one where we stayed that you had to pay for.
If I were to go back to that area anytime soon, Jonathan and I would surly stay there. We got to see the rooms, and the guesthouse is really one large building with maybe 5 rooms in it..super cozy and homey feeling. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting to go to Zanzibar!!
Thank you Dina and Mark, and we hope we see you again!!
