Zanzibar🇹🇿｜2-Day Nungwi Chill & Explore Itinerary

Zanzibar has several laid-back areas, but I personally prefer Nungwi—though touristy, it’s perfect for dolphin tours, powdery white beaches, and stunning turquoise waters. With fancy Western eateries and budget-friendly local spots, plus $12-13/night hostels, it’s a stress-free paradise for backpackers. 🔥 Must-Do Activities: ✅ Dolphin Tour ($15): Swim with dolphins! A magical experience—check my detailed guide for tips. 🐬 ✅ Tide Pooling: Best during low tide (11 AM–1 PM in rainy season). Spot starfish at ZaVa Restaurant’s shoreline. 🌊 ✅ Beach Hopping: Walk along Nungwi’s dreamy northwest to northeast coast (time it with low tide!). Don’t miss Nungwi Public Beach, Royal Beach, or Kendwa Beach—all walkable. 👣 🚐 Getting There: From Stone Town, take a bajaji (2k TZS/¥6) to Saateni Bus Stand, then hop on Dala-Dala (2.5k TZS/¥7, 1.5 hrs). It’s fast but crowded! Get off at Nungwi Roundabout or near your hostel. 🏡 Budget Stay: Lutumo Backpacker’s Home $13/night for a private room (fan, mosquito net, ensuite). 10 mins to the beach, kitchen access. Pro tip: Bargain hard! 🍽️ Eat & Drink: 🍢 Pazuri Bakery & Restaurant Grilled chicken skewers (500 TZS/¥1.5!) but warning: Might be undercooked (I got food poisoning). 🍛 Maishi Siri Restaurant (Kendwa Beach) Squid curry (12k TZS/¥33), avocado juice (2k/¥6). Small portions but flavorful. ☕ Secret Garden Coffee Shop (Not the pricy beach one!) Try mango-infused coffee (6k/¥18)—unique and aromatic! Next door: Local beef rice (5k/¥15), tough meat but filling. #TanzaniaTravel #Zanzibar #Nungwi #EastAfrica
