ZURI ZANZIBAR

Zuri Zanzibar is focused on bringing its guests close to the natural beauty of the Tanzanian island while also protecting the Kendwa village and empowering its residents at the same time. This involves a handful of fun community initiatives, like “Keep Kendwa Clean,” which employs locals to reduce trash and manage it responsibly. In order to keep jobs filled by locals, Zuri set up youth training programs that are designed to give students the opportunity to earn a certificate in tourism and hospitality while also adding to the overall well-being of the community and economy.  Elsewhere, the 56 bungalows, suites, and villas are fitted with an energy-saving Evening Breeze air conditioning system, as well as organic toiletries crafted in partnership with local shops.
