Hotels in Zanzibar South Coast
This area is one of the
most relaxed and friendly areas of the island, but until recently it has only been used as a spot
for short day-trips or to see dolphins. For decades
now the south coast has been best known as a location to 'swim with dolphins. This part of the
island is very different and a little less obvious than the classic broad palm-backed
lagoon of the east coast. Here a coral rag cliff elevates the waterfront above the
ocean and the beaches take the form of small coves rather than broad expanses
of sand. For this reason there are relatively few lodges.
On the South-East coast of Zanzibar, Makunduchi is an amazing coral village with
white sand beaches that goes down in gentle slope on a turquoise background. Lack of affectation
of the inhabitants and their greetings are touching. Usually taking place around the 23rd
or 24th of July, the Mwaka Kogwa is the celebration of the Shirazi or Persian new year.
It is a flamboyant demonstration of Zanzibar passion and style, with the biggest
single event being held at Makunduchi in Southern Unguja. Until now,
Makunduchi was preserved about Hotels construction. The only hotel here is Makunduch Beach Resort.
