Three nights of pure white sand, warm Indian Ocean waters and unbeatable sunsets.
Nungwi sits on Zanzibar's northern tip and is consistently rated one of the best beaches in Africa. Unlike the east coast, Nungwi has very little tidal change — meaning you can swim and snorkel all day, every day, from a beach of postcard-perfect white sand.
This 4-day package is the easiest add-on to a Kilimanjaro trek or safari — fly out of Arusha or Kilimanjaro in the morning, sip your first cocktail by lunch. Includes resort accommodation, all transfers and one optional excursion (sunset dhow or snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll).
On arrival at Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ), our driver meets you in arrivals and transfers you north to Nungwi (about 1.5 hours). Check in at your beachfront resort, enjoy a swim, and watch the sunset from the western-facing beach. Dinner at the resort or one of Nungwi's many beachfront restaurants.
Pure relaxation. Swim, snorkel, kite-surf, sunbathe, read a book under a palm tree, or take a wander to the nearby Mnarani Marine Turtle Conservation Pond. The beach in Nungwi remains swimmable through all tides, unlike most of the east coast.
Choose your add-on (priced separately): a traditional sunset dhow cruise around the northern reefs, or a half-day boat trip to Mnemba Atoll — one of the Indian Ocean's premier snorkelling sites with incredible coral gardens, reef fish and a chance of swimming with dolphins. Return for an afternoon by the pool or beach.
Relaxed morning at the resort. Lunchtime checkout and transfer back to Zanzibar Airport (or to Stone Town for an afternoon walking tour if your flight is late). Goodbye Zanzibar.
From $750 per person — perfect end to a Kilimanjaro climb or safari.
