Nakupenda Beach
8 Mazlin Zara

This secluded and petite island is located just a short distance from the coast of Zanzibar. The crystal-clear waters and gentle waves make it a picturesque destination. Visitors often embark on day trips from Zanzibar to explore its beauty. To make the most of your visit, consider organizing a trip with your own companions, chartering a private boat for transportation, bringing along your favorite music, setting up a cozy campsite with chairs or mats, packing a grill and all the essential supplies for a delightful outdoor feast.

We ventured to the northern part of the island from Stone Town for a snorkeling excursion. The experience was truly delightful, teeming with a plethora of corals and a diverse array of fish. We wholeheartedly suggest visiting this spot if you have a penchant for snorkeling 😍 Our journey was facilitated by Hussein and his boat (+255773904747), who proved to be a skilled captain offering reasonable rates. The location is approximately a 40-minute boat ride away from Stone Town.
