Stag parties pointed in direction of Zanzibar

A renowned party hotspot in Zanzibar is being championed as an ideal venue for an original and action-packed stag weekend.

Nungwi has become a much-loved destination for thrill-seeking backpackers, with its stunning white sandy beaches, favourable climate and cheap accommodation.

However, a new report in the East African publication has drawn attention to its lively nightlife - forged through a plethora of beach bars - and its various water sports offerings.

"Be it snorkelling, diving, kayaking, partying, fine-dining, exploring local village life or taking a sunset dhow cruise, Nungwi has something for everyone," noted author Mana Meadows.

"This is not a place for those seeking peace and quiet. Nungwi is peppered with a range of night-time venues, catering to many tastes and guaranteeing a good evening."

In addition, those travelling to the town in stag parties would also have the opportunity to dine at some upmarket restaurants boasting the finest fresh seafood on offer.

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania with a population of 1,070,000.
