Mchanga Lodge is one of our favourite smaller resorts on the island. This is the epitome of simple island barefoot luxury. From the moment you walk in, you can kick off your shoes and walk in sand (Mchanga is Kiswahili for "sand") that covers the resort. It is set on a beautiful beach but like the rest of Zanzibar, is tidal so its difficult to swim at low tide. The huge and refreshing pool more than makes up for this however at low tide. Its a small resort so great for romantic getaways and honeymooners but not for those who want more lively atmosphere. It is owner run and offers great service - and above all great relaxation!

    Scuba Diving

    Mchanga Lodge uses the very reputable PADI certified One Ocean Dive centre. It has been in operation since 1993 and uses the latest Scuba Pro equipment which is maintained by Scuba Pro certified technicians. A DAN managed hyperbaric chamber is located nearby.

    The best dive site by far is the world renowned and nearby Mnemba Atoll which has several Dive sites:

    West Garden which has a depth of 12 metres and a good spot for snorkellers and novice divers.

    Aquarium which has a depth of 20m. There is usually a slight current at this site. Patches of sandy bottom occur quite close to the reef with Surgeonfish, Moorish Idols, Parrotfish, Groupers, large Hawksbill and Green Turtles along with White-tip Reef Sharks.

    Wattabomi is also an excellent site for snorkellers and novice divers. Schools of small reef fish, Regal Angelfish, Semicircle Angelfish etc can be found here as well as Flounders, Scorpianfish and sometimes beautifully patterned Striped Dolphin.

    Kichwani which is deep, clear and drift dive from 20m to 40m depending on the divers experience. Many coral species can be found including Mushroom and Honeycombe. Below 30m, a vertical wall appears with many reef fish, Trumpetfish and large Napoleon Wrasse. If you’re very lucky you will see Reef sharks, Eagle and Manta Rays.

    The Big Wall on the east side of Mnemba Island has several sites. Depths drop from 30m to 50m. On your decent down you will be passed by different species of pelagic schools of Rainbow Runner, Bluefin Trevally, and sometimes Common Dolphinfish. Along the edge of the wall, you will find some overhangs and small caves, often filled with lobsters.
