One to discuss with us
Unguja Lodge has an excellent watersports center for the exclusive use of lodge guests. As a result, diving and snorkelling excursions are tailored and often take place in quiet secluded areas – very much a rarity on Zanzibar!

On site, guests can make use of the swimming pool and receive spa treatments in their own room.
The watersports center is for the exclusive use of lodge residents, once again assuring a personalised experience.
Unguja Lodge is also of great interest to divers, as they have access to (currently) 17 dive sites on the much quieter southern reefs as opposed to the extremely busy Mnemba Atoll farther north.
Other water-based activities include surfing, snorkelling and sunset cruises.
Additionally, the camp offers guided village visits of Kizimkazi, full day sandbank excursions and sunset cruises.
