All about the trip
Discover Uzi Island where the cultural heritage of a sleepy Island approach to life and slow attitude is perfect for those wanting to get away for a bit. Do absolutely nothing or see the island’s culture. Head to Uzi Island which is the second largest island around Zanzibar, holding a unique distinction in terms of its culture and people. The Island is located in the South of Zanzibar and it can only be accessed via a causeway that is accessible during low tide (also known as “Mosses Road”). When the water comes up, the road disappears and you might as well travel by traditional Dhow.
Uzi Island has a population of 6,000 people but still doesn’t have any restaurants or bars. Experience a canoe trip through the thick forest and lush mangroves, see seaweed farms, watch birds in the Mangroves, and discover lonely beaches and awesome baobab trees. All this makes the Island very unique. Uzi Island is an example of Zanzibar before the age of mass development, where someone can say that things are isolated if not backward.
