Pachikonjo Beach Resort

Pachikonjo Beach Resort

Nights from: $50 (2 Persons)

Pachikonjo Beach Resort is the ultimate escape from your busy life and into the wilderness and one of the most private Kigamboni Beach Resorts there is. The beach house is traditionally crafted with a thatched room and provides spectacular views over the bay that is home to Pachikonjos private beaches. Pachikonjo is perfect for backpackers, romantics or those who are in search of an intimate escape from reality and back into the arms of mother nature. Whether you find her in the pristine waves or while searching for the monkeys that play in the trees surrounding this beach resort. 

Pachikonjo roughly translates to ‘Birds Nest’ in the Ngoni language (a Zulu dialect) from the Ngoni tribe; this is where the family owned Pachikonjo Beach Resorts roots lay. The Ngoni tribe’s history starts in southern Africa which they called home until the 1820’s when widespread tribal conflict, known as the Mfecane war, led to a mass migration often referred to as the great scattering; the Pachikonjo ancestors could have crossed the Zambezi River as early as the 1830’s before settling in the Viphya Plataeu (now part of Zambia, Malawi and the Matema district of Tanzania). It took 20 years of traveling, over thousands of miles through Mozambique and Zimbabwe for their ancestors to find a new home Although, the Pachikonjo Beach Resorts ancestors’s history has been quite turbulent the aim at the Beach Resort itself is to make sure that customers can appreciate the beautiful and awe inspiring scenery and indulge in the slower pace away from their busy lives. 

Kigamboni Beach Resort- Dar Es Salaam

The beach resort is situated about an hours drive south of Dar Es Salaam in the Kigamboni region. Kigamboni Beach Resorts have now started to become popular with tourists and locals alike due to the untouched pristine white sandy beaches. While many of the beaches in Dar Es Salaam have become dirty and the water polluted, the south side of the city remains clean, quiet and picturesque. The Kigamboni Beach Resort beaches can rival even some of the most popular beaches in Zanzibar. 

Pachikonjo Beach Resort stands atop a small cliff that towers above a pristine private beach which is perfect for a cooling morning swim, a long afternoon walk along the shore, or an evening playing in the waves. The area is private and extremely quiet which allows anybody at the beach resort to dedicate their thought to relaxation and meditation. The Resort boasts spectacular views and an spectacular sunrise in the morning. The fishermen from the local villages are often seen in the distance working their nets and there is a seemingly never ending array of boats and dhows passing by. There isn’t another Kigamboni beach resort that can rival Pachikonjos affinity with nature. 

The Beach Resort’s facilities are perfect for a large group to come together, BBQ and drink your cold beverage of choice. There are several spots which are particularly beautiful to relax under the trees for shade, while the food and drink is served in the beach house and enjoyed on our balcony. The beach is so close that while the adults catch up the kids (or big kids) can build sandcastles and splash in the sea. In those warm nights a cool breeze runs through the traditional thatched beach house and keeps the climate perfect for sleeping. Or take a blanket out onto the grass where the stars are the brightest that you’ll ever see.
