Overview

Quiet North Coast, at your pace

Five days with one purpose: nothing scheduled. Nungwi and Kendwa are the north coast's most reliable swimming beaches, without the tide-dependent shallows found further south and east.

Usually booked as the second half of a longer itinerary, but works alone for travellers who want Zanzibar without a safari attached.
