Kiwengwa holidays

Sunbathing, animal encounters and sunsets over the sea – when it comes to exotic island adventures, Kiwengwa holidays tick all the right boxes.

A traditional Zanzibar village

The quaint village of Kiwengwa’s perched on the north-eastern coast of Zanzibar. Its main appeal is the soft sweep of flour-white beach and the teal ocean waves that lap onto it. The village is small and authentic, and is fronted by a handful of high-end hotels.

Top places for snorkelling and scuba diving

It’s worth grabbing some snorkelling or scuba diving equipment to get to know the island’s underwater world. The island’s well known for its colourful teeming reefs. Creatures like seahorses, turtles, starfish and octopus are easy to spot.

Cheetah Rock

Kiwengwa is less than an hour’s drive to the Cheetah Rock conservation centre on Zanzibar’s west coast. It’s home to lots of rescued animals, like cheetahs, lions, zebras, hyenas and lemurs. Animal enthusiasts can get up close with many of these animals, and learn all about the work being done to protect them.
