Zanzibar Serena – Mangapwani Beach

Posted by admin on Jun 8, 2011 in | 0 comments

Located on the northwest coast of Zanzibar, an exotic island off the coast of Tanzania, the Mangapwani Beach Club and Restaurant is pure paradise. Local fishing boats float in the shallow waters as the waves lap up onto the sandy beaches, which are located in a succession of secluded and protected coves separated by rocky outcrops.

Guests can spend the day on the beach soaking up the African sun, taking the odd dip in the sea to cool down or enjoying the many watersports on offer. When it comes to lunchtime, guests can stroll over to one of the tables shaded by thatch awning and enjoy a lavish buffet lunch. The menu has something for everyone, but mostly takes advantage of Zanzibar’s wonderful seafood. A chef is on hand at the buffet to prepare dishes to your requirements, adding the perfect blend of famous Zanzibari spices.

The beach club offers rest rooms and changing rooms and a bar offering a variety of cool refreshments throughout the day. Self-guided and guided nature and cultural walks are available that include the nearby historical Mangapwani Slave Caves where the slaves of the 1800s were kept awaiting the monsoons and the arrival of the dhows. Transport to the Mangapwani Serena Beach Club and Restaurant is available by road or by boat (depending on times and tides) from the Zanzibar Serena Inn.
