Fasciculi itinerum
The sunsets of Nungwi, then the quiet lagoon of the south-east.
Ten days that cover the whole island from two beach hotels: the north coast with a day in the UNESCO old town of Stone Town, a spice farm, Mnemba Island and its dolphins and a day by the sea at Nungwi, then the south-east coast for Jozani, the Swahili cave of Jambiani, a day under sail at Safari Blue and the dolphins of Kizimkazi.
