Zancinema

Zanzibar Town


The gap left by the closure of the much-loved Cine Afrique has been filled by the even-more delightful Zancinema. Owned and run by a local movie enthusiast, it shows a wide range of films from Hollywood to Bollywood. Airline seats and popcorn complete the picture. It's under the Rumaisa Hotel on a side street off Malawi Rd.
