The settlement of Makunduchi lies in the far south east of the island. The town is, besides Stonetown, the biggest of Zanzibar with a population of approximately 12,000 people who principally survive on fishing and seaweed farming. Despite the beautiful setting of this small town with its long white sandy beaches, there is very little tourist activity in this part of Zanzibar. Makunduchi is famous for the Mwaka Kogwa festival which takes place over four days in July. The location is great for the people love the natural and traditional Zanzibar village. The 3 kilometer long white sand beach perfect for walking, running, relaxing, and exploring… It is ideal for family, for friends, and romantic couples. Not recommended for people who search an exiting night life. The location is perfect not only for all sorts of beach activities, but also an excellent base to explore other activities like Stone Town (for shopping & history), Dolphin tours and Jozani Forest National Park.
