Nakupenda” means “I love you” in Swahili – and you’ll understand why once you step onto this dreamlike sandbank surrounded by the turquoise Indian Ocean.
This half-day escape begins with a short boat ride from Stone Town to the Nakupenda Sandbank, a pure stretch of white sand that disappears during high tide. Once there, you can relax, swim, sunbathe, snorkel, and take stunning photos of the scenery.
Our team prepares a fresh seafood BBQ lunch, including lobster, fish, calamari, and tropical fruits, all served under a shaded tent on the sand.
