Nungwi & Kendwa

For overland travelers, Nungwi represents the ultimate "vacation from the vacation." It is a multi-day break from the safari truck and camping life, offering a chance to recharge in beach bungalows on Zanzibar’s northern tip. Expect days filled with non-tidal swimming and snorkeling trips, and evenings spent enjoying sunset dhow cruises and fresh seafood dinners with your tour group.
