Our Customer Satisfaction Rate:
If you enjoy local alternative culture and a community of local artists, you are in the right place. We had lots of great conversations. Guided tours of the city to complete administrative were accompanied just as well as the walks to Islamic Beach, where you can get in touch with the locals and have fun in the Indian Ocean. The many small restaurants and the high sense of security (you can easily be on the road alone at night) rounded out the experience at Shine Africa.
