Liyongo
Beachside village at Kendwa, Zanzibar's northwest coast
Swahili-Influenced Village at Kendwa
Liyongo is a 60-villa development at Kendwa, on Zanzibar's northwest coast—beachside, a short walk to one of the island's finest swimming coasts.
Built as a village rather than a resort compound, the project draws on Swahili-influenced design, shared courtyards, and communal spaces, with rental infrastructure and management embedded from the outset.
Ubunifu is appointed sales and marketing operator for Liyongo, under an executed agreement with developer Christopher Nash—shaping commercial structure, positioning, and go-to-market strategy, and executing sales directly.

Villas are releasing in three phases — Liyongo is currently in Phase 1, the Founders Release.
