Interesting facts about this location
Nungwi
Nungwi is a fishermen's village and a tourist attraction located at the northernmost tip of Unguja (Zanzibar), East Africa. In the past it was mostly known as a dhow boatyard. Until the 1990s, the local population was opposed to tourism, so Nungwi's beach is one of the last in the area to host hotels and other touristic structures.

Zanzibar ferry sinking
On 10 September 2011, the MV Spice Islander I, a passenger ferry carrying over 2,000 passengers, sank off the coast of Zanzibar.

Early estimates put the death toll at around 200, but a report published by the Tanzanian govenment in January 2012 claimed that over 1,500 people had been killed.
