Social Responsibility

Matemwe Beach Village is involved in the Rotary Club of Zanzibar. Over the last few years the club has built a playground, donated books and school equipment and wheelchairs to disabled children. The club is now working on a $25,000 literacy project focusing on all schools in Zanzibar. If you wish to support the Rotary Club, please bring a copy of 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe - a book studied by all A-level
students though only a few copies are available. You can buy this book from Amazon

When to go?

It is open all year, but expect frequent rains from April to mid-June, when the prices are lower. There are less predictable, shorter rains in November (lower prices again). Visibility is often reduced at these times, but otherwise diving and snorkelling are good year-round.

Features include:

• Restaurant
• Bar
• Vegetarian menu
• Internet access
• Outdoor pool
• Jacuzzi/hot tub
• Airport Transfers
