Zanzibar Beach Fitness Bootcamp: 10 Days of Boxing, HIIT & Yoga in Kendwa

The day starts at 6:30am with either boxing on the beach or a run along the shoreline. Breakfast follows at 8am — usually a tropical smoothie bowl with fresh fruit, granola, and local honey. At 10am you're back on the sand or in the resort's training area for strength work or a circuit session. Sessions are designed so you can push as hard as you want; coaches adjust the intensity for each person.

Lunch is at 1pm, then the afternoon is free until 4pm. That's when yoga, core, or mobility sessions run — sometimes on a deck overlooking the ocean, sometimes in a shaded studio. At 6pm there's an optional sunset swim or guided meditation on the beach. Dinner is at 8pm, often followed by a group social, bonfire, or just hanging out by the pool.

Mid-week you get an optional rest day and a guided excursion. The June and July dates include snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll — a boat trip out to a marine conservation area where you swim with tropical fish and sometimes dolphins. Other excursions rotate between a spice farm tour, a heritage walk through Stone Town, and a sunset dhow cruise from Nungwi. The final two days include fitness challenges, team games, and a farewell dinner.

The coaching team are experienced in group fitness, boxing, and strength & conditioning. They're used to working with mixed-ability groups and keep the atmosphere supportive rather than intimidating. You'll get personal attention on form and technique, especially if you ask for it.

Kendwa is on the northwest coast of Zanzibar, known for its wide beach and tides that stay swimmable all day — unlike some other parts of the island. The resort has a pool, gym access, air-conditioned ensuite rooms, and ocean-view dining. Between sessions you can book a massage, snorkel from the beach, or walk into the village. It's a 10-minute drive to Nungwi, where the dhow cruises leave from.
