- Hotels in Zanzibar Near the Beach Nungwi to Kendwa, Tanzania
This video you will see the hotels in Zanzibar near the beach at Nungwi all the way to Kendwa Rocks.
North Nungwi,
This is the lovely quiet side of Nungwi Beach where you have the Turtle Aquarium at the end on the south. Double Tree by Hilton is in this area is one of the best hotels in Nungwi. Other Hotels include Flame Tree Cottages and Smiles Beach Hotel.Smiles Beach Hotel. The beach has a more local feel with fishermen and ladies and the traditional Dhow boats early in the morning. I would say this is the nicest beach in Nungwi and fairly quiet. However it does have a bit of seaweed on the sand.
Nungwi Village
You can’t go to Nungwi without visiting the village. Just walk around and see real life in Nungwi. It astonishes me that its literally 2 minutes walk behind these hotels. You can almost get anything you want there, but you might take a while trying to find it. A real African village to explore, with a lot of character and you can meet some wonderful friendly people. Hotels near the vilage include Ebony and Ivory, Union Bungalows, Paradise Beach Bungalows, Amaan Bungalows and Z Hotel.
South Nungwi
This area gets more crowded, especially around the Z Hotel area and there are a lot of tour touts offering to sell you boat trips to islands. They are friendly but after the tenth time it can get a bit annoying. Amaan Hotel is also around here which is an affordable hotel is recommended. There are a more restaurants and bars around here and its one of the best places to eat seafood near Paradise Bungalows in the evening. As you move south it gets more quieter with large resorts like Bao Bab Hotel and Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort.
Kendwa
The beach starts to get bigger and quieter again. There are mostly international tourists around this area. Reaching Kendwa, more hotels, noticeably Hotel La Gemma dell’ Est is a large Resort that is popular with foreigners in this area. Kendwa Rocks Hotel is the mecca of Kendwa. It has local and foreign tourists, so it’s a great mix.

This was a HUGE asset for me, planning my trip to Zanzibar. Thank you!
That’s great glad it helped
@@ArchitectRussell Decided to go with one of your recommendations, I have an sea side room at Aaman....very excited. Thanks again!
@@jamiepitts6235 cool that’s the one over looking on top of the water? Did u find that online?. I can never find it whenever I look.
@@ArchitectRussell Yes it is, and I did finds it online, got a great price too! Got it on Agoda.
Will check thanks
Your video brought lots of memories to my head. I used to live in Dar es Salaam and we used to go to Zanzibar every now and then. Baraka Beach Bungalows are very nice, and their dinner by the beach every evening is such a wonderful experience. They serve one of the most tasty - fresh from the sea - seafood I've ever had.
Makes you miss a place a lot more once you leave, I bet it does. 👍🏽
Really does look like Paradise! Thanks for showing had no idea what Zanzibar was like!
Oh I’m glad u got something out of thanks cheeses guys
bel video.bravo, mi servivano propio questi prezzi di hotel e bungalow.
Hey Russ! The beach itself looks really stunning with clear waters. I love the captions that you created pretty cool! Some of the reasonably priced accomodation looks pretty nice but the more expensive ones looks really pretty too! Reminds me of boracay and their stations! 👍🏼☺️😊😘
Thanks man. I still need to go to Boracay- maybe soon!
Woooow,finally waited for this video about Zanzibar.What a beautiful scenery--blue and clear seawater, cute sea turtle....It is just heaven.
Cheers Brian, I appreciate that. I hope one day u can see this place.
@@ArchitectRussell haha,hope the day can comes early
Maybe work will send u ha
Amazing place 👍😍
Have you been yet?

Looking verde ***** hotel so really beautiful from Zanzibar
Thank you for this! This video helped me choose a hotel. I’m currently at Z hotel right now and I wanted to come tell you how much this video influenced my decision to stay here. So thank you! It’s our second day in Zanzibar it’s so beautiful and we are so I’m excited to exploring the rest of the island. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Fantastic ! Enjoy yourself !
I can not tell you how useful this video was. Thank you so much!
Thats fantastic , Frida. I'm so glad you found it useful.
@@ArchitectRussell may I ask which location is better for swimming? Kendwa or Nungwi? We like calm water without waves.
I would think that area just before u get to kendwa rocks is nice to swim around because it more open . I think it’s all a lot calmer in the mornings anyway I wouldn’t worry about it that much. . I think the afternoon just gets a bit wavy everywhere .
Really informative video, Thank you! We appreciate it!
Thanks great thanks
Ahsante sana
A great place, great culture.
Thanks man
Thank you so much for this video 🎉
No probs 🙏
Cool
You’re the best!!!!! You just planned my Nungwi portion of my trip.

@@ArchitectRussell Thank you 🙏🏾
hi russell, have booked at Amaan Bungalows this easter. looks like a good place. Thanks
Yeah most of my friend stay there should be fine -it’s right next to everything too 👍🏽
How did you find Amaan? I am planning to stay there soon. How was the beach near there?
Thank you for being such a martyr, doing that walk at midday 😉😂
It was very informative and confirms my choice of staying at Amaan 😎🌴 🌊
Oh that’s awesome - but I wouldn’t advice the walk at that time! 🥵
How did you find Amaan? I am planning to stay there soon. How was the beach near there?
👏👏👏👏
Great job man
Much appreciated
@@ArchitectRussell are you still out there? I was thinking about taking a flight out there with my girl before the covid lockdown comes back on full affect in the UK
I see😊you have taste.
Thankyou - I bet you do too
I booked late after my gf’s work booked a safari/Zanzibar holiday and wound up in a 2 single bed room at z hotel. Lucky for us when they noticed they gave us the Z suite for the time we spent there which is the entire top floor of that section. Amazing.
Wow that’s sounds good!
Did you like the Z hotel overall? I would love to book there for a couple days, but after seeing how busy it gets in this video, I am reconsidering. 😕
@@SweetnSourqt3 Did you ending up booking z hotel? How was the beach near there? We plan to stay at sunset Kendwa.
i dont know how this videos come in front of me but i love this just let me know sir if possibile which camera and specialy which drone you are using
Thanks Amir - oh I used quite a few cams inc go pro and I phone and Sony mirrorless and mavic 2 😓 🥴
@@ArchitectRussell thanks sir
Yes Russell thank you so much for this video. My girlfriends and I want to take a trip down there this July. We are traveling on a budget and we were considering Ebony and Ivory bungalows also shown in your video. Any advice for us concern that place? Thank you.
Hi Mwansa -I think I would try Amaan if u can. Ebony Ivory - is right near the beach I found a lot of people walking and hanging around your front door all the time. It didn’t feel very private that’s all. 😖
@@ArchitectRussell Thank you for your quick response. It is very helpful.
Any time 🙂
Visited Nungwi back in 2004 and there was none of this. So much development.
Zanzibar is Developing even faster now. Everyone is building hotels
Jambo... Please come visit lamu island is beautiful and the beach is amazing also#karibu lamu tamu🏝️
Where is Lamu island ?
@@ArchitectRussell coast of kenya
@@ArchitectRussell And is the place with the greatest history of swahili people.
Amazing video. Did you prefer the water/beach near Amaan Beach Bungalows or towards Kendwa Rocks?
Think both the same - but more to do around Nungwi
@@ArchitectRussell Okay, thanks!
Naombeni ajira jaman
We love you....my country 💕.... Take a citizenship bro, karibu sana
Hahah maybe I could in few more years lol
Very useful and informative !! Did you have any trouble bringing your drone into the country ? Ive heard you need a permit and a licence to use them.
I stayed at Kendwa rocks when i went to zanzibar
:D
Cool I wanna stay but it’s always full. Was it nice?
Cool I wanna stay but it’s always full. Was it nice?
@@ArchitectRussell yea it was great, I was in one of those modern rooms right on the beach, I enjoyed being able to walk out of Kendwa rocks onto the road and get a local haircut and sneak in those cheap bottles of konyagi gin hahaha. The bar on the beach is great at night and really friendly vibe from other people staying there.
@@encoremovement awesome yeah I did that too 🤣
Russ, this is class. Going to Zanzibar later in the year, the weather ok In December?
Should be fine. Weather always fine 👍🏽
Thx for the video!!! As a female solo traveller, would you recommend nungwi or Kendra? For staying.
Thx
Either is fine. There’s just more people trying to sell you stuff in Nungwi I think
Verry good work! What kind of drone do you have?
Cheers Philipe. That was mavic 2- do u fly?
Architect Russell i have only the mavic pro 1... but it is good enough
Yeah sure. I went from mavic air to pro 2 so kinda missed that one. Probably not much difference 👍🏽
looks great but prices are expensive just for few nights including bungalows , like plate ticket start from 430e
Kommer du från Sverige?
Dobrý den, uvazujeme o dovolene na Zanzibaru a jediny hotel, ktery je volny v pozadovanem terminu je Palumbo Kendwa ...jedeme s malymi detmi, doporucil byste nam ho? I s ohledem na stravu, cistotu...nekdo v recenzich psal, ze meli po jidle zazivaci potize... dekuji moc za odpoved. Helena
Ahoj Heleno, ten hotel neznám. Vypadá to daleko - pokusil bych se dostat něco blízko pláže, pokud můžete.
Hello, I need some advice. I'm staying at the Kendwa Rocks Hotel and some of my friends are staying at the Sunset Kendwa Beach Hotel. Did you pass by it on your way walking? It says it is 420 ft. away. I was hoping that the 2 hotels were in walking distance on the beach or road.
Looking on the map it looks like it’s just before the Kendwa rocks sign on the beach. It looks very close should be ok to walk to day or night .
@@ArchitectRussell Thank you!
Hey! We plan to stay at the Sunset Kendwa Beach Hotel. Do you remember how they found it?
Sunset Kedwa is next to Kedwa Rock's Beach Hotel.
Looks like the beaches in the dominican republic,
I will have to go there one day
what month did you film this video?
That was Xmas time so dec Jan
Russ how much is a bottle of lager or a bottle of vodka in the local shops in Nungwi town
I can’t remember exactly but just be around 1 usd and 10 usd - depends on the brand. Maybe cheaper if you can find deeper in the village .
Is the beach near Kendwa Rocks (or any hotel near there) privately owned? We are staying at a different hotel but wanted to know if we could come over to that side as well?
Yeah you can walk to all beaches -not private
Amazing! Which one is the best month to go there and when did you go? 😊
This was December Christmas time - tbh anytime is good - weather doesn’t change much really
Dont forget u go to Pemba island after zanzibar
I really wanted to go there. Then I heard some rumours that put me off. That always happens here. 😖
@@ArchitectRussell rumours for what?🤔
@@ArchitectRussell what rumours did you hear coz am planning a trip there please tell me
You skipped Riu Hotel and Zuri Hotel!
Can’t do everything 😵😳😀
Any problem flying drone? In zanzibar?
U can get a 3 month permit 😭 which takes forever. 👴
@@ArchitectRussell any tips how to get a permit?
Do we need to take yellow fever vaccine bfore going to zanzibar??
You better get one - they usually check at airport sometimes they don’t tho
Looks completely built up, with buildings built on top of the beach, doesn’t not look too inviting to spend day on a beach that has so much concrete.
“These resorts are full of white people” 😂 that made me laugh because UA-camr Wode Maya said the same thing lol!
Have you took pills for prevent malaria?
I did for a month or so when I first got here. But you can expect to take them if you live here.
@@ArchitectRussell i read about bad side effects and i thought to prevent with mosquito spray..idk what to do i go dar es salam and zanzibar..thanks
I wouldn’t worry about side effects if you are only for few weeks I think that’s just rumours
Who is ready we go together?
I have been there this February. I will go again this winter! Escape from Europeen Corona Insane :-)
Let's go Josehine :-)
How he always seems to smile when he talks but the rest of the face doesn't go with it...
Hello Russ where is the best place to exchange British pounds £,s to local money or is it best to take USA Dollars $
Actually everywhere around this video in Nungwi is in USD all the hotels and bars menu around there and boats etc. (they can convert to £). Local money Best way is to just go to an atm when u are at airport or Stone Town. They have actually shut down a lot of exchanges places so might be difficult to find. U can withdraw 400k TSH each atm transaction
When he said the resorts are full of white people 😂
Diamonds star of the East (La gemma) was the best Hotel in Nungwi/Kendwa,
But they sell it to Riu .
It was still good then.
Since Riu has been here, the magic and luxury have gone.
Riu Palace Luxury 5STARS feels Like Antalya 3 * Hotel.
Even the private luxury villas with their own pool look shabby and old.
Clear deterioration
Not heard of it will have to check
Mauritius is nicer.
Nobody hassling you at the beach
Sure looks nice and developed a lot more there
fake Masaai
What because they where sunglasses ? 😂
