Three of the top destinations you should visit are Nungwi, Paje, and Kizimkazi. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or cultural experiences, these places offer a little bit of everything.

Nungwi – A Beach Lover’s Dream

Located on the Northern tip of Zanzibar, Nungwi is one of the island’s most famous beach destinations. It’s perfect for travelers looking for a mix of relaxation and excitement.

Beautiful Beaches – The beach at Nungwi is known for its white sand and clear, turquoise waters. It’s a great place to relax, swim, or take a walk along the shore.

Water Sports – Nungwi is also a top spot for snorkeling and diving. There are many coral reefs close to shore, home to colorful fish and other marine life. You can even book a boat trip to dive deeper or enjoy a sunset cruise on a traditional show.

Vibrant Atmosphere – The village of Nungwi is lively, with beachfront restaurants, bars, and shops. It’s a great place to sample fresh seafood, enjoy live music, or shop for local crafts.

With a rental car from Self Drive Zanzibar, you can easily reach Nungwi in about 1.5 hours from Stone Town. Renting a car gives you the flexibility to stop along the way and explore other attractions like spice farms or small villages.

Paje – The Adventure Hub

If you’re looking for something more adventurous, Paje is the place to be. Located on Zanzibar’s Southeastern coast, Paje is known for its thrilling water sports and relaxed beach vibes.

Kite-Surfing Paradise – Paje is famous for its consistent winds, making it one of the best places for kite-surfing in Zanzibar. There are plenty of kite-surfing schools where you can rent gear or take lessons if you’re new to the sport.

Relaxed Atmosphere – Even though Paje is known for adventure, it still has a laid-back feel. The beach is wide, open, and less crowded, making it a perfect spot to unwind, enjoy the scenery, or walk along the shore.

Diving and Snorkeling – Like Nungwi, Paje also offers opportunities for snorkeling and diving. There are several nearby dive spots where you can explore the coral reefs and marine life.

With Self Drive Zanzibar, you can drive from Stone Town to Paje in about an hour. Renting a car allows you to explore the coast at your own pace, stopping for fresh coconuts or visiting small fishing villages along the way.

Kizimkazi – Swim with Dolphins

Kizimkazi, located in Southern Zanzibar, is known for its dolphin tours and historical sites. It’s a more quiet area, making it ideal for travelers looking to escape the crowds and enjoy nature.

  • Dolphin Watching: One of the main attractions in Kizimkazi is the chance to see dolphins in the wild. You can take an early morning boat trip to spot these playful creatures and, if conditions are right, you might even swim with them.
  • Cultural Heritage: Kizimkazi is also home to one of the oldest mosques in East Africa, dating back to the 12th century. It’s a great place to learn more about Zanzibar’s rich history and culture.
  • Quiet Beaches: The beaches in Kizimkazi are more secluded, offering a peaceful place to relax after your dolphin tour. The area is also perfect for snorkeling, with clear waters and abundant marine life.

Kizimkazi is just over an hour’s drive from Stone Town, and with Self Drive Zanzibar, you can make the trip easily and at your own convenience. A rental car gives you the freedom to visit Kizimkazi and return whenever you’re ready, without being tied to tour schedules.
