Nungwi & Kendwa – Marine Encounters, Village Life & Sunset Magic

Discover the authentic charm of Nungwi, a traditional fishing village in northern Zanzibar, where sea turtles are rescued, nourished, and cared for before being released back into the Indian Ocean. Here, you'll have the unique opportunity to swim alongside turtles and observe them up close in their natural lagoon habitat.

The village itself, built with traditional mud houses, offers a glimpse into local life. You’ll visit homes and schools, meet welcoming residents, and especially engage with the children, to whom you can offer small gifts or essential items (such as notebooks, pens, toiletries, clothing).
Important: Please avoid giving money, as it can create harmful dependency—gifts in kind are most appreciated and safe.

Just a short distance away lies the breathtaking Kendwa Beach, one of the most beautiful on the island. Known for its clear turquoise waters and lively beach vibe with music and local entertainment, it's the perfect place to sunbathe, swim, or enjoy a stroll along the shore.

Cap off your day with a breathtaking sunset over the ocean—a truly unforgettable experience.

On request: Dolphin tour available!
