Where you’ll be

Mafia Island, Pwani, Tanzania

Bweni village is an authentic, safe and quite village not yet used to tourists. People are friendly and help you whenever they can. It is a small fisherman village, secluded and very remote. There is no paved road yet, the road pavement starts in 2023.
All the people in the village know Samira (me) just in case you need help to find our place, just kindly ask around.
