Tour overview

Our evening beach ride leaves around 5.30 pm or sometimes earlier depending on the tide times. – depending on times of high tides. From the stables, we head to Nungwi’s main beach and start our beach ride beside the Z hotel. From here we head south towards Kendwa beach. We will pass some of the biggest and most luxurious hotels on Zanzibar whilst we walk along the best beach and clearest water on the island. On some of the most deserted parts of the beach, we can trot and canter for those who are able or keen to try.

After about half an hour we return along the same section of the beach but walking into the shallow waters of the ocean. This is the horses favourite part and often they will stop to splash themselves and the rider. We try to time our return so the whole way back you will have the stunning sunset to your left. This really is one of the most magical experiences you will have.

Alternatively, our evening sunset beach ride could take you to the beaches North of the Z hotel, including Nungwi village beach. This ride is a little busier and takes in a cultural element. Village children will often follow the horses singing Farasi Farasi which is Swahili for the horse.
