4-Day Nungwi Beach Escape

Three nights of pure white sand, warm Indian Ocean waters and unbeatable sunsets.

Nungwi — Zanzibar's North Coast

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).

3 nights beachfront resort
All transfers included
Optional sunset dhow cruise
Optional Mnemba snorkelling
Year-round swimmable beach
Great Kilimanjaro/Safari add-on

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive Zanzibar → Transfer to Nungwi

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.

1.5 hr transfer No meals included
Day 2

Beach Day — Free Time

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.

Optional Excursion: Dhow Sunset Cruise or Mnemba Snorkelling

Return for an afternoon by the pool or beach.
