Island road links
The main roads in southern Unguja tie the villages to each other and to the towns further north, and they form the clearest lines on the map.

A small settlement in southern Unguja, where scattered lanes meet coral-rag scrubland and the Indian Ocean lies close by.

The map
Sokoni lies in the Zanzibar Central/South region, on the southern part of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar archipelago. From above it does not look like a planned town. Instead you see a loose spread of lanes and footpaths among plots and trees, with the coast not far away and open ground between the villages.
This part of the island has shallow soils over old coral, which locals call coral rag. The land is used for small farms, and the villages are spaced out along the roads that link them. On a map the result is sparse and open, very different from the packed alleys of Stone Town further north.
A Sokoni map poster shows this quiet, rural side of Zanzibar. With so few lines it has a lot of white space. The road network reads almost like a drawing, and if the frame reaches the coast, the long edge of the Indian Ocean gives the composition a strong horizon.
The main roads in southern Unguja tie the villages to each other and to the towns further north, and they form the clearest lines on the map.
Between the main roads, small tracks branch out irregularly to homes and fields, making a fine, uneven web instead of a grid.
The Indian Ocean shore lies within reach of a wider frame. Its broken coral edge gives the poster a natural boundary and a sense of the island's shape.

Why Sokoni
For anyone with roots in southern Zanzibar, or who has stayed there, this map is a restrained reminder of a specific place. It is about quiet roads and the sea nearby, not about famous sights.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps with a family name or the date of a visit, and pick one of five styles: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download it for $9 in six sizes, or order a print.
