How to get to Ushongo? Via Dar es Salaam (DSM), Zanzibar/Kilimanjaro, or Mombasa, then continue by air to Machado with Auric Air or Coastal Air,or by taxi through the scenic Saadani Game park. Alternatively you can take a speedboat from Nungwi/Zanzibar.
Why Ushongo/Tanzania? Tanzania is an excellent alternative to the Kenyan south coast and Zanzibar: no mass tourism (no large hotels, no package tourists), there are only a few private houses, these are like ours ‘in the front row’ with direct beach access, largely untouched beaches, no prostitution/no harassment by vendors. Unlike many beaches in Zanzibar, you and your children can swim safely in the sea in Ushongo all year round with gentle waves.
