Nungwi Village Tour

The Village Experience tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local life of Zanzibar. Led by knowledgeable guides from the village, this tour is carefully designed to support both the community and nature conservation efforts. You will have the chance to discover how the locals live day to day, gain insight into their livelihoods, and witness their traditions.

A highlight of the tour is a visit to Mnarani Aquarium, a small tidal lake surrounded by porous coral rag stone. This natural habitat is home to several endangered hawksbill and green turtles. During your visit, you’ll have the chance to feed the turtles with seaweed and capture memorable photographs of these incredible creatures.

You will also visit the local dhow makers by the beach, where you can observe the fascinating process of building traditional boats from scratch. This hands on experience offers a deeper understanding of the local craftsmanship and the cultural significance of these boats.

The tour concludes with a delicious Swahili style lunch, allowing you to savor the authentic flavors of Zanzibar’s culinary heritage.

If you are staying outside of Nungwi, we are happy to arrange a reasonably priced transfer, ensuring you can easily join this enriching experience.
