Only a 20 minute flight or 2 hour boat trip from Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar is typical of the spice-filled islands found in the Indian Ocean.

Zanzibar

Tanzania! Words just cannot express the beauty of the nature… any attempts to describe seem empty and pale in the face of the splendor and variety of this wilderness. Try to picture peaceful herds of elephants along a riverbank. You are not dreaming, you are in the Tarangire national park! Raise your head and open your eyes and ears: in the Ngorongoro preservation area you can observe 400 species of birds. Lift the head again and Mount Kilimanjaro will catch your eye. Once a myth it is now accessible in six days by the Machame route! Return to the ground in the Serengeti plains. The oldest and without a doubt the most popular of the Tanzanian parks: You will find hundreds of thousands of zebras, gazelles and gnus which migrate annually in search of greener pastures. Elephants, giraffes and elk are in constant movement...
Your tailor made holiday to Tanzania doesn’t only cover natural wildlife. It also includes meeting with unique ethnic groups, like the Maasai, the proud semi-nomadic people. Tanzania is also a place to kick back and relax along the superb beaches of Zanzibar.
Luxury travel or beneath a tent, for a safari between friends or a honeymoon, a trip to Tanzania is a dream come true!

Paje is one of Zanzibar's most popular villages, especially with young kite surfing enthusiasts and also with backpackers as it is one of the island's cheapest beaches, just like neighbouring Jambiani.

I adored Paje, first of all because the atmosphere here is clearly younger than on the rest of the island (just like in Nungwi and Kendwa in the north). You find reggae bars set down on the beach, clubs with cocktail bars and swimming pool that play good music and here the atmosphere is more festive.  
I was introduced to kite surfing right here, the clubs are serious and as this extreme sport has a lot of British enthusiasts, the instructors are of course fluently anglophone. 
Paje beach itself is magnificent and each hotel, even the most roots and the most modest, have their own deck chairs under the coconut trees facing the azure water. On the other hand, it is more windy than the others. 
The beach is very busy which means you never get bored and especially at low tide, you see the women from the seaweed centre manually harvesting sacks of seaweed which makes for magnificent photos. 
The village is more touristic, you find stalls, restaurants, the inhabitants are very friendly, and I have fantastic memories of Paje!
