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.

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 👍🏽

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! 👍🏼☺️😊😘

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 .

Cool

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 .

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.

@ArchitectRussell

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
