Nakupenda Sandbank is close to Prison Island. Nakupenda means “I love you”. We think this name is true. The beach is picture perfect. From the blue water to the beautiful white sand and the picturesque setting. At Nakupenda Beach you can enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch and a wonderful day to relax and take it easy and as the Tanzanians say, a day of ‘polé polé’.
You will be picked up from Stone Town and go by boat to the ‘love island’. You can relax on the beach, snorkel and unwind! A delicious BBQ will be prepared, which includes lobster, prawns, calamari, you name it.
You can also combine this top destination with Prison Island, where you can visit the turtles and the old ruins. In that case the boat will take you to Nakupenda Island after Prison Island to swim, relax and enjoy a delicious seafood BBQ, prepared on the beach.
By combining the Prison Island Tour and Nakupenda Beach sandbank picnic Tour, you can make a fantastic full-day excursion from Zanzibar. Instead of just visiting one destination and rushing back to base, you’ll get the chance to enjoy two unique experiences.
You will learn about the fascinating history of Prison Island and its elderly inhabitants. Then at Nakupenda Beach you can relish in the crystal clear waters surrounded by awe-inspiring views while indulging in delicacies from the fresh seafood bbq.
