Makunduchi beach

Makunduchi is a beach in the southeast of Zanzibar island, Tanzania. Like everywhere on the island, it's impossible to swim here during the low tide. Also the views are not as beautiful as on the northern beaches, since there are mostly trees (not palms), and the sand is not white. However, it's quite possible to relax in a good beachfront resort. But discount should be significant. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Rooms' rates in Makunduchi hotels start from US$60. The best option is Ujamaa Beach Resort for about US$150 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Zanzibar international airport (ZNZ). Next hire a taxi.

At the current time, there are many direct flights to Zanzibar. So connections flight via Dar es Salaam makes sense only in case, if you plan a safari on the mainland.

When to go [edit]

Feel free to relax in Zanzibar any time of year - except for the pronounced rainy season in April.
