Local time UTC+3Checked 0 viewsHDCity
This live camera looks toward Livingstone's Restaurant in Stone Town, the historic old quarter of Zanzibar City on the island's west coast. It is useful for getting a sense of the street life and light in the heart of Tanzania's most famous historic town before you go. The page also shows the local time and weather so you can judge conditions at a glance.
The old town of Zanzibar
Stone Town takes its name from the coral rock and lime-mortar buildings that line its narrow lanes. It has been a centre of trade for centuries, drawing merchants from Arabia, India and Europe, and its mix of carved wooden doors, mosques and colonial-era facades is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The town sits on the Indian Ocean coast, so the sea air and warm, humid climate shape daily life throughout the year.
What to watch on the camera
The view is most lively in the late afternoon and early evening, when shops reopen after the midday heat and the waterfront grows busier. Depending on the angle at any moment, you may see pedestrians, vehicles and the shadows of tall buildings shifting across the street. Cloudy or rainy spells can change the light quickly, so the live image is a practical way to check conditions before heading out.
Visiting and getting around
Stone Town is best visited in the cooler, drier months from June to October, when humidity is lower, although the rains of the long rains season from March to May are heavier. Most of the old town is walkable, and the narrow alleys are easiest to explore on foot. The nearby Forodhani waterfront is a short stroll away, and the island's beaches, including Diani Beach across the channel on the mainland, are a longer trip away.
