Scuba Diving Around Kichanga Lodge

Search the best destinations in Africa to go on holiday and you will definitely find Zanzibar somewhere at the top. There is a good reason for this. The island is surrounded by long beaches that are littered with palm trees, the skies are clear on the best days and sunshine combined with luxury resorts makes Zanzibar the perfect exotic getaway.

There are plenty to engage in during your stay when looking to make the experience even more memorable such as swimming, kite surfing and snorkeling. One of the best ways to enjoy the water is through scuba diving. If you have never done this before, then be sure that the first time will remain etched in your memory forever.

It is time to feast your eyes to a whole new experience of life underwater, one that is completely different from what you are accustomed to. If you are experienced at scuba diving you can dive straight into the ocean without much assistance but if you are new to scuba diving, there are plenty of schools that can teach you this valuable skill. Look for a school that is PADI certified. At the PADI scuba diving and snorkeling center, you will learn all you need to know to make successful dives.

Let’s talk about the best place to stay in Zanzibar when you want to improve or learn scuba diving — Kichanga lodge. The lodge is located in the south-east of the island; the beaches are beautiful with white sand. The lodge provides you with world-class hotel service. And if you want the hotel can arrange visitors a chance to partake in scuba diving at an affordable cost.

But what makes this location ideal for scuba diving is perhaps the fact that Kichanga lodge is located near many scuba diving spots. Book one of the 14 bungalows with double rooms as well as the available villas and enjoy the best stay.

The dining comprises of local dishes, seafood as well as Italian cuisine. At the bar and restaurant, you can also order some refreshing cocktails and drinks.

Kichanga lodge works to support the local communities by funding the Kichanga Foundation which in turn funds the Michamvi school. Locals also enjoy the swimming lessons that the foundation offers which is interesting because Zanzibaris are not the best swimmers even while living on an island and so close to the ocean.

With Zanzibar depending mainly on tourism, places like the Kichanga lodge play their part towards the development of the island.

At Kichanga Lodge you can combine a magical feeling of the ocean breeze as it relaxes your soul and then later dive into a new world of adventure at many of the nearby diving spots.
