Start your amazing adventure by the Indian Ocean

At Mnarani Beach Cottage, every day brings a new opportunity to discover the beauty of Zanzibar. Choose your adventure below:

Snorkelling

Discover why Nungwi is ranked among CNN’s “100 Best Beaches of the World”. Explore vibrant coral reefs, turquoise waters, and marine life at Mnemba Atoll, the “Tropical Fish Capital”. Swim with dolphins, spot turtles, or try fishing for your own lunch. Perfect for beginners and seasoned snorkelers alike.

Sunset Cruise

Set sail on a Leopard 39 Sailing Catamaran and watch the Indian Ocean sky turn fiery orange, pink, and purple. With optional Swahili music and gentle breezes, this relaxing, romantic trip is perfect to end your day. Sometimes sailing includes a detour past Tumbatu Island for added adventure.

Kayaking

Paddle at your own pace along the Nungwi coastline in single or double kayaks. Glide through turquoise waters, past sandy beaches and fishing dhows. A peaceful and refreshing experience, complete with compulsory life jackets for your safety.

Game Fishing

Test your skills in deep sea fishing trips around northern Zanzibar. Reel in yellowfin tuna, sailfish, wahoo, and marlin. We offer half-day and full-day trips to Mnemba Atoll and Kipwani, with trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing techniques.

Scuba Diving

With our trusted dive center partner, explore Nungwi’s top dive sites: Mnemba Atoll, Tumbatu Island, and Shane’s Reef. Expect coral gardens, seahorses, tropical fish, sea turtles, and more. Suitable for both fun dives and PADI courses.

Sailing

Take the helm of our Leopard 39 Sailing Catamaran or simply relax as our captain guides you. Enjoy breathtaking views, sunsets, and trips past Tumbatu Island. A blend of relaxation and adventure on Zanzibar’s turquoise waters.

Tours & Excursions

Explore Stone Town, Jozani Forest, spice farms, or join a Nungwi Village tour. Our info desk helps arrange dolphin trips, cultural tours, and island excursions with trusted local guides, tailored just for you.

Access to the Beach

Step directly onto the sand from our spacious deck. Depending on tides and monsoon seasons, the shoreline transforms between sandy beaches and rocky areas. Join locals exploring reefs, or simply enjoy barefoot walks along the ever-changing coast.

Holiday ❘ Family

We stayed at Mnarani Beach Cottages for 2 nights as a family, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were genuinely kind, welcoming, and always happy to help. Sea view room was cozy and food was top notch — especially their focaccia and “Mint Garden” drink!

Peaceful, quiet, with friendly staff. Highly recommend Mnarani Beach Cottages for anyone looking for a relaxed beachfront stay.
