Stone Town

🇹🇿 West Zanzibar · Tanzania — Altitude 17 m

Local time UTC+3Checked 0 viewsHDCity

This live camera looks out over Stone Town, the historic old quarter of Zanzibar City on the island's west coast. It is a useful way to see the city's street life and rooftops before you plan a visit, and to check the sky and conditions in real time.

About the Place

Stone Town is the old centre of Zanzibar City, built from coral stone and carved wooden doors along narrow lanes. Its mix of Swahili, Arab, Indian and European influences has earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. The town sits on the Indian Ocean coast, so the sea air and the port shape its daily rhythm, with markets, mosques and waterfront streets stretching out from the old harbour.

What You Can Watch

Depending on the view, you may see busy streets, rooftops, the harbour area and people going about their day. Activity is usually liveliest in the morning and late afternoon, when shops open and the heat eases. Clear weather gives the best visibility, while the rainy seasons can bring cloud cover and sudden showers that change the scene quickly.

Practical Information

Zanzibar has a warm tropical climate all year, with the driest and most comfortable weather from June to October. Short rains fall in November and December, and long rains from March to May. Stone Town is best explored on foot, and the island's second camera on Diani Beach on the mainland coast shows a very different seaside setting for comparison.
