One of the most beautiful sunsets you can experience in Zanzibar. Nungwi |
Beach cottages at Nungwi beach, north of Zanzibar all made of natural resources.
Nungwi is famous for it’s buzzing nightlife and very laid back vibe. This northernmost tip of Zanzibar is the heart of the island’s budget tourism industry and teaming with student back-packers and aging hippies . The actual village of Nungwi is still a traditional fishing village and is the center of Zanzibar’s dhow-building industry. It’s at night time the beaches are alive with bonfires, drumming sessions, crowds of party and music from the bars
