WANDER AROUND

Kamili View is located in Kiwengwa, the largest village of Zanzibar north east coast, in an area called "Mafarasi", where you can find a range of shops for everything you will need to make your stay great. Mafarasi is also a good starting point for those audacious enough to try the local transports, "DalaDala", instead of comfortable taxi.

Kiwengwa Beach: Famous for its kilometres of long... seemingly endless... powder white sand!
At low tide when waves give way to warm puddles, like little turquoise bath tubs, long walks can replace your swims.
The best way to enjoy the beauty of the tide, which wax and wane every 6 hours, is taking a walk to the coral reef to find fish, octopus and other marine creatures caught in the rock pools...
Listen to the sound of the ocean that slowly comes back... take refuge on a sand bank which gets smaller and smaller and jump on your "ngalawa", a local canoe, booked in advance to reach the shore by sail.

  DalaDala: Are you looking for simple but deep emotions?
A ride on a DalaDala will be definitely the subject of your trip tales once back home!
Maybe because in the space of 20 we squeeze up to 30...
including big Mamas hiding kids under their dresses.
Maybe because the steering reminds you a formula one race track!!
Or maybe just to feel yourself unburden of some unnecessary needs...
Who knows? DalaDala n°117 Kiwengwa-StoneTown... only for the bravest!!!
DalaDala
Lobster & more: Eating is not a problem in Kiwengwa...
From sumptuous buffets found in the resort hotels and fine dining dishes served at a handful of boutique hotels, to a delicious lobster BBQ and tastily cooked Swahili food prepared at the friendly local restaurants along the beach.
Chakula Chema,
enjoy your meal!

  Kite surf: Kiwengwa has several kite centers with qualified instructors and good equipment...
The shallow sea floor and the nice wind make Zanzibar east coast an ideal place for kite surf lovers.
Mado knows the wind, knows this ocean and its tides and goes out kite-surfing daily! He will love to share his experience with you or surf in your company! Kite Surf
Kiwengwa Caves:
A fascinating little jewel undiscovered from the mass tourism,
Ancient caves carved by centuries of water dripping, rich of stalactites and stalagmites...
walls eroded by the salt twinkling under your flashlight.
Simple natural trails but immersed in the deep darkness and silence.
The caves are only few kilometers from us and are an amazing alternative to sun and beach!
 
  Quad Tour: this is the best way to approach some wild and colorful off-road rural villages! A half day drive through rice fields and fruit plantations and a nice opportunity to meet local people and why not, deliver some gifts. No candies please... we will be happy to advise on this matter if you wish!
