Chuini Zanzibar Lodge supports the nearby village, Meli Nane, with several projects. The lodge offers apprenticeships and training positions, promoting ecological awareness and educating fishermen. Additionally, it supports the dispensary and tries to ensure that the majority of its employees are locals. Chuini is also one of the few lodges in Zanzibar that offers medical-aid insurance to its associates.

Zanzibar boasts stunning beaches and alluring oceans and is home to many different exciting watersports and leisure activities – but that’s not all that this destination is famous for. Affectionately called the “Spice Island”, Zanzibar became known for its spices two centuries ago at a stage during which it was an important trading centre. You can explore famous farms just three kilometres away from the lodge and discover how spices still form a part of the island’s culture.
 
Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the historic Old Fort of Zanzibar and the Forodhani Gardens are located, also makes for great sightseeing. Here, you’ll discover incredible architecture that showcases a range of international influences.
 
If you are fascinated by history, you can take a boat trip to Prison Island, approximately 30 minutes away from the main island. Surprisingly, the prison on this island was never used to house prisoners and has developed an interesting story. You could also take a trip to Grave Island, where a naval cemetery that dates back to the 1800s is located, or to Snake Island that lies between the two previously mentioned islands.
