visit the islands near unguja ukuu

unguja ukuu village, south-central zanzibar. 5 to 7 hours.

Experience Overview

the adventure begins at the unguja ukuu shoreline, where you board a traditional wooden dhow. unlike the busier hubs, the journey here is quiet and serene. you will sail toward miwi island, an uninhabited coral outcrop surrounded by crystal-clear shallow water, perfect for exploring the small caves and coastal vegetation. next, the tour heads to nyange sandbank, a massive stretch of blindingly white sand that emerges during low tide. here, you can enjoy a secluded lunch, snorkel in vibrant coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, and relax in total privacy. the return journey often involves a "sunset sail" through the mangrove channels that line the unguja ukuu coast.
