Chapwani Island Tours and Activities

Grave Island (also called Chapwani Island) is one of several very small coral islands located a short distance off the coast of Zanzibar and is accessible by privately hired water transport, a journey of 15 to 20 minutes (and usually means getting your feet wet). Grave Island Cemetery is a naval cemetery dating from before the First World War. In the extension is the grave of 24 petty officers and men of HMS "Pegasus", killed in action on 20 September 1914 when the ship was sunk by SMS "Konigsberg,"

Stone Town is a great place to roam and see a side of Africa that is seldom seen. A place where cultures have mixed and co-exist. It is somewhat in decay and not very well kept, but it is extremely interesting to visit the sights and experience Stone Town while looking for souvenirs and just observing the Swahili culture and Zanzibar architecture. Amazing sunsets by the harbour! #GoldenHour #blue
