Black Pepper Beach Holiday: Summary
Black Pepper Beach Holiday in a nutshell
Pemba is Zanzibar island’s rustic, sleepy counterpart, situated just off its north-east coast. Comparatively underdeveloped, the accommodation on Pemba offers guests a more secluded experience, where picturesque white beaches and azure waters can stretch on uninterrupted for miles.
Fundu Lagoon is one such destination, offering guests a rustic, remote and luxurious oasis. The accommodation itself is picturesque, with all relaxation areas and rooms designed to face the sea. Whilst often favoured by honeymooners, Fundu Lagoon attracts a friendly, sociable crowd which is much enjoyed by families, groups and solo travellers alike.
With a fully equipped PADI dive center and team of qualified staff on hand, guest’s can enjoy the conservation area’s beautiful coral reefs with diving or snorkelling excursions. Other activities may include kayaking through the mangrove forests, deep-sea fishing or dolphin watching, and as Fundu Lagoon is notably involved with the local community, you may also get to meet those from nearby villages in an informative cultural experience.
Whether you combine Fundu Lagoon with other Zanzibar beach destinations, a contrasting safari in Tanzania, or visit as a standalone destination, you will be sure to enjoy a peaceful break in this tropical region.
