We are situated on the north eastern tip of Zanzibar Island; about 60 minutes drive from Stonetown at the village of Nungwi. Nungwi has the most beautiful beaches on the island. But as we can only accommodate 70 guests, even in high season, you’ll be guaranteed a peaceful, crowd-free beach for perfect relaxation. Also for snorkelling, diving or game fishing, Nungwi is one of the best spots in Zanzibar. Divers will appreciate our close proximity to the Mnemba Atoll. NUNGWI
Everyone in Nungwi is extremely friendly, but before you ask anyone a question it is polite to greet each other first. This will give you a great opportunity to practice your Kiswahili, so here’s a quick lesson. “Jambo” means “Hello” and “Asante Sana” means “Thank you very much.” Give it a try!
When visiting local areas such as the village you are respectfully asked to wear clothes that cover you in a modest way – if you need more details ask the staff.
If you want to take photographs in the village, particularly if the shots include local people or their children, please ask them first.
Local people have strong beliefs and values, connected with their religion and traditions. We kindly ask our guests to respect these at all times.
ZANZIBAR Zanzibar consists of two main islands, Pemba and Unguja, and about 50 smaller islets surrounding the archipelago. The population is about one million in both Islands, with the majority living in the capital, Zanzibar Town. The people of Zanzibar speak the purest form of Kiswahili, but English is also spoken by most of the people you’ll meet, and many have a good working knowledge of Arabic and European languages. TRANSFERS Transfers to and from the airport can be arranged for a small charge – and if you stay for a week or longer we’ll offer you free one-way transfer. Our driver can meet you at the airport or collect you from any hotel in Zanzibar Town/Stone Town. |
