Combined trip Zanzibar - Experience Nungwi and Jambiani

Two magical destinations, one unforgettable experience

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves gently hitting the beach and feeling the warm sea breeze caress your skin. Zanzibar, with its sparkling white beaches and turquoise blue waters, is not just a destination - it's a paradise that offers both adventure and relaxation. On this trip, you will experience two sides of the island's enchanting beauty: lively Nungwi in the north and peaceful Jambiani or Paje on the east coast.

Nungwi - Life and movement in Zanzibar's northern pearl

The journey begins in Nungwi, where life pulses in time with the sea. The small fishing village has developed into a popular beach resort without losing its charm. Here you are met by chalk-white sandy beaches that merge with the clear, azure blue water. During the days you can explore the coral reefs, snorkel among colorful fish and feel the adrenaline when a traditional dhow boat takes you out to sea. In the evening, the sky turns from golden to pink as the sun sets over the horizon, and restaurants along the beach serve freshly grilled fish and seafood straight from the sea. It is a place that invites you to both live fully and enjoy moments of stillness.

How to get to Nungwi

When you land at Zanzibar International Airport (Abeid Amani Karume International Airport), it takes about 1.5-2 hours by car to reach Nungwi, which is located at the northern tip of the island. The easiest and smoothest solution is to book a private transfer in advance, but taxis are also available. The road is paved and offers beautiful views of the island.

Jambiani - Harmony on Zanzibar's east coast

After a week filled with life and movement in Nungwi, it's time to change the environment and travel on to Jambiani on Zanzibar's east coast - a place where tranquility and simplicity prevail. Here the endless beaches spread out, and the tide creates a magical landscape where the sea seems to dance back and forth over the sandbank. It is a place to find harmony - to walk along the beach at dawn, listen to the rustle of palm trees and let time pass without stress.

In Jambiani you meet friendly locals who are happy to share their culture and everyday life. Small restaurants along the beach serve spicy stews and fresh coconuts, while the village invites you to explore its simple but beautiful world. For the adventurous, there is also the opportunity to paddle a kayak over the lagoon or discover the colorful marine life in the clear water.

How to get from Nungwi to Jambiani

The distance between Nungwi and Jambiani is about 2.5-3 hours by car. A private transfer is the easiest option and can be booked through your hotel. Along the way, you will see parts of Zanzibar's beautiful countryside and small villages, which makes the journey part of the experience.

How to get from the airport to Jambiani

From the airport, it takes about 1.5 hours by car to reach Jambiani. Just like for Nungwi, it is recommended to book a private transfer in advance for a smooth journey, but taxis are also available.

Welcome to Zanzibar - a journey for the soul

When you look back on your trip, you will remember the contrast between Nungwi's lively atmosphere and Jambiani's soothing stillness - a perfect combination that provides both energy and peace of mind.
