About Makunduchi

Do you like the intimate atmosphere that escapes commerciality and repeatability? Do you want to truly relax and at the same time be close to the attractions that will make your stay in Zanzibar even more exciting? Makanduchi is your place on Earth.
Here you will find a typically African, picturesque landscape – with red clay cottages with thatched roofs, hidden among palm trees, and above all – friendly, broadly smiling locals, who are calling “Jambo!” from afar.
A small, sleepy and picturesque village is located in the southeastern part of the island. In close proximity there are Jambani and Paje on one side and Kizimkazi on the other. The charming nearby port can become a starting point for a sea or land adventure. Plan it together with us!
