Hello everyone - it is great that you all had a wonderful trip. I am trying to figure how to cut down costs/expenses.

Hi everyone! I have a question. I really enjoy swimming in the ocean. I was deciding whether to do a few days in Nungwi and a few in Matemwe in August and am wondering about the tides. Is it possible to swim or is it too shallow? Also, I want to go to Paje too. Thanks!
