Extraordinary African Safaris
Just south of Nungwi — the same tide-free swimming and golden sand, with famous sunsets and a relaxed but social beach scene.
Kendwa, a short hop south of Nungwi on the northwest coast, shares its neighbour’s biggest virtue — swimming at any tide on broad golden sand — with a slightly more relaxed feel. It’s renowned for its sunsets and its full-moon beach parties, but for most of the month it’s a laid-back stretch of resorts and beach bars.
It’s a great choice for travellers who want the tide-free swimming and sunset views of the north without quite the bustle of Nungwi. The two are close enough to enjoy both.
Transfer to a Kendwa beach resort.
Broad sand, calm water at any tide.
Kendwa's celebrated west-coast sunsets.
Hop to Nungwi or boat to Mnemba reef.
Kendwa gives you Nungwi's tide-free swimming and sunsets with a touch less crowd — a sweet spot for many. Be aware of the monthly full-moon party if you want quiet (or seek it out if you don't). Otherwise it's relaxed and easy.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Kendwa Beach Holiday, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
