Top Beaches in Tanzania

If you're into snorkeling, check out the coral reefs around 10 AM when the tide is high. The visibility is at its best then, and you’ll see so much more than just the shoreline!

Rent a scooter to explore nearby beaches like Kendwa. I think it’s way more fun than sticking to just Nungwi, and you’ll save money on transport if you want to hop around.

I suggest bringing a waterproof bag for your valuables. I almost lost my phone to a wave, and trust me, it’s a hassle to deal with wet electronics

Pack your own snacks and drinks. The food at Mnemba is pretty pricey compared to local shops. We felt like we overspent a bit there.

Bring your own snorkel gear if you can! Rentals can add up, plus some spots might not have what you need. I wish I had known this before I rented expensive gear on my last trip.
