About Michamvi
Michamvi is a picturesque village located on the southeast coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. Known for its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters, Michamvi is a popular destination for beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts. The local currency used in Michamvi is the Tanzanian Shilling. The village offers a laid-back atmosphere with a few beachfront resorts and restaurants serving fresh seafood and local cuisine.
When to visit
The best time to visit Michamvi is during the dry season from June to October when the weather is sunny and dry, perfect for beach activities and water sports.

Taxis and tuk-tuks are also available for longer distances or trips to other parts of the island. Boat tours and water taxis are popular for exploring nearby islands and coral reefs.
Traveller tips
Pack light and breathable clothing for the hot and humid weather in Michamvi. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and insect repellent to protect yourself from the sun and bugs. Respect the local culture and customs, especially when visiting mosques or interacting with the locals. Try the fresh seafood and Swahili dishes at beachfront restaurants for an authentic culinary experience. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration in the tropical climate. Book accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons to secure your preferred stay.
