O. M. G. I loved it here! The beach and sand were absolutely pristine! There were minimal people on the island and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place so beautiful in my life. The water was completely clear and see-through and there were little silver fishes jumping out of the water in the distance. An absolutely perfect setting. The beach also had a kiosk where fresh seafood was served and that was just as phenomenal as everything else in the atmosphere. It’s clean, uninhabited and an absolute paradise. I’m so glad this gem was recommended to me. It was the highlight of my visit to Tanzania, even better than Zanzibar in my opinion.

Pugu hills are bordering Dar es Salaam and Coast Region, It is the perfect place for strengthening body muscles by Jogging, Walking, Cycling and many other physical activity. The area is under Government to protect the natural habitat from being swapped. Almost everyday morning you will find some people jogging up and down the hills to adjust the fitness of their body parts. There are few Tour operators in Dar who organize Walking and Cycling around Pugu Hills.
