Overview

  • Discover a side of Masaki most visitors never see. Walk along the Slipway waterfront, ride a local tuk-tuk, explore Msasani's fishing community and fish market, visit Tingatinga artists, taste Tanzanian snacks and finish with sunset at Coco Beach.

    It is a relaxed introduction to Masaki beyond the luxury side — through its people, markets, art, food and everyday coastal life.
