The experience
Overview
Nungwi and Kendwa are the postcard beaches of Zanzibar: pale sand, clear swimming water that doesn't drop at low tide, and beach bars all along the shore.
The day is deliberately unhurried — swim, eat, walk between the two villages, and stay for the Kendwa sunset before we drive you home.
Highlights
- Two of Zanzibar's best swimming beaches in one day
- Beach club and restaurant options for lunch
- Dhow-building yard in Nungwi village
- Kendwa sunset to finish the day
