Sink into Kendwa

Long stretches of relish-worthy sand await all travelers at Kendwa, a spot of celebration and relaxation on travels through Tanzania.

Kendwa's lack of recreational infrastructure makes it the perfect spot to relax. Travelers looking to cool off after a major trek or long journey will find the basic comforts here - lazy hammocks, soft sands, and perfectly-temped waters - to be the perfect therapy to ease any sore muscles. A leisurely walk along the more than 2 miles of beach can also do any traveler wonders.

The beach comes alive, however, during the full moon, so those looking to escape the crowds should plan their travels to the village around the lunar calendar. Visitors who are in the mood for a wild romp will find no shortage of fun here, where party-goers dance, play music, and perform late into the night.

Those wanting to extend their time here can choose from a range of accommodations. Visitors can stay simplistic with lodging in a banda, a thatched-roof hut, sink into a plush bed at a beachside resort, or stay cozy in a quaint stone cottage above it all in the neighboring hills.
