Photographs are unwelcome unless permission is sought. Owned and managed by South Africans, Ras Nungwi consists of 60 beds in 30 thatch-roofed bungalows. Rooms are simple, bordering on basic. The bar and restaurant is airy and pleasant. Guests and hotel staff leave you pretty much on your own.
Food is simple but tasty.
One seafood or fish dish in every meal, with a choice of pasta or vegetable pilaf rice. The homemade spaghetti with fresh basilico and tomato is delicious. So are soups. Coffee could be stronger. So you are left in peace with the sound of waves and tides shaping the days.
