Rules vary across Nungwi. I don't have reliable information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality for Nungwi and Kendwa (both located in Zanzibar, Tanzania). These are beach resort areas where tourism regulations may be minimal or inconsistently applied, but I cannot confirm specific permit requirements, occupancy rules, or actual enforcement practices without access to current local regulatory data and on-the-ground enforcement information. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
