Workation in Nungwi: the essentials

At the northern tip of Unguja, Nungwi was a fishing and dhow-building village before the resorts came, and boatbuilders still work on the sand. West Nungwi now has most of the hotels, restaurants and bars, while the east side is quieter. About 30,000 people live here, making it the island's second-largest settlement, and the sea is swimmable at all tides, unlike the flats of the east coast. Dive boats go out to Mnemba atoll, and we know of no coworking space. Zanzibar's airport is about 55 km away, by hired car or dala-dala via Zanzibar Town.
