At Peponi, we feel that the space and its energy will speak for itself, offering a dazzling experience without much need to look beyond what Nature is generously offering up.
Beautiful Sunrises
As the sun rises over the beach at Peponi, local fishermen climb into their ngalawas – a traditional fishing dhow- and slide across the sunlit scene. Looking out onto the ocean, a substantial breakfast of local coffee, freshly baked bread and fruits signal the start of a new day.
KAYAK & SUP
Kayaks SUPs are available for rent from the camp for those keen to explore the surrounding area. For a more fast-paced activity, we also have a number of windsurfs available for rent!
FISHING & SNORKLE
It is also possible to organize fishing trips in the Pemba Channel. Snorkelling equipment is available for an exploration of the coral gardens near shore. For those keen to go deeper, Kasa Divers offer scuba diving further south of the camp.
COMMUNITY
As an actor within this undeveloped area, we wish to support in the development of business and care for natural resources. Therefore we have established connections with locals keen to offer services such as fishing trips, bird walks, Swahili lessons, piki-piki rentals and more.

It is also possible to arrange a boat trip down Pangani River. Amani Nature Reserve is a great day trip from the camp. We can organize local boats to travel to Zanzibar for those keen to make the journey by sea!
BIKE & PIKI PIKI
For an independent adventure, it is also possible to rent bicycles or piki-piki’s and design your own route around the area!
Sunset Beach Strolls
At the end of the day stroll along the unspoilt and safe beaches, explore the nearby mangroves, or relax in the warm waters. Watch the sunset over East Africa, and listen to the ubiquitous birdsong.
PANGANI RIVER CRUISE
We work with a team in Pangani to offer a wonderful sunset meander down the Pangani River. With an incredible bird life, witnessing the daily work of fishermen and coconut collectors and the possibility of seeing crocs! Food and drinks are available for snacks and sundowners on the river!
