Day 1

Arrival in Zanzibar & Sunset in Nungwi

Arrival in Zanzibar & Sunset in Nungwi

Touch down at Zanzibar International Airport, where our friendly driver will meet you for a private transfer to Nungwi, one of the island’s most vibrant beach villages known for its powdery white sands and lively atmosphere. On arrival at your mid-range beach accommodation—Nungwi House or Amaan Bungalows—you’ll receive a refreshing welcome drink and a brief orientation from your local host.

Spend your first afternoon unwinding along the idyllic coastline, soaking up the tropical ambience and crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, enjoy a guided sunset beach walk along the west-facing shore, famous for some of the most breathtaking sunsets in East Africa.

In the evening, savor a Swahili-style dinner at a charming seaside restaurant featuring local flavors like coconut curry, grilled catch of the day, and chapati. The sounds of traditional Taarab music often float through the air, creating an immersive cultural welcome.

After breakfast, set out on a full-day marine adventure to Mnemba Atoll, Zanzibar’s most iconic snorkeling destination. Your boat ride offers scenic views of the northeastern coastline, and once you arrive at the protected reef, dive into warm turquoise waters teeming with colorful tropical fish, dolphins, sea turtles, and vibrant coral gardens.
Midday, enjoy a freshly prepared grilled seafood lunch on board—often including lobster, octopus, or calamari, served with local sides and tropical fruits. The boat crew shares insights about the reef's ecological importance and local fishing traditions.
On the return journey, stop briefly at Kendwa Village, where you’ll gain a window into everyday life in coastal Zanzibar. Meet local artisans, visit a palm-weaving workshop, or sip fresh sugarcane juice before heading back to Nungwi.
