     DESCRIPTION

Nungwi is the name of the village in the northern part of Zanzibar Island. This part of the trip mainly focuses on Cultural village visits of the Nungwi Village, sightseeing, and free time to relax at the white sand beach of the north. The best time to visit is in the early morning when the fish market is in full swing – depending on the catch the previous night you might see Tuna, King Fish, Dorado, and a variety of other large fish for sale. In the morning’s local fishermen (and women) wade out to the edge of the coral reef to catch a number of different small sea creatures including squid, octopus, pufferfish, and the occasional ray – their catch will be sold at the fish market throughout the day.

At Nungwi there is a number of very interesting things to see and do including, the natural aquarium in which is home to endangered sea turtles and a variety of fish. The aquarium itself is a natural formation carved out from the coral bedrock by the erosion of millions of waves crashing against the shore. The depth of the water rises and falls with the tides providing a natural environment for its inhabitants. While watching the white sails of the Dhows go by, you might wonder how these impressive boats are made. The Nungwi Boat Yard is a riveting (if you’ll pardon the pun) experience where you’ll meet the shipyard owner and learn how the dhows are built; from the sourcing of the wood to the joints used and how they are launched.

Please note that the boat building tour is only available as part of the Nungwi
