Unguja Ukuu
These photos were taken around the southern fishing village of Unguja Ukuu, one of the old seats of power on the island, and the access point to Uzi island, which can only be approached at low tide.The village sees few tourists and is one of the most unspoilt coastal villages, set on a sandy bay, rather than the dramatic open white beaches of the east.
