Management

Community

Kigomani is a small village that relies everyday on fishing, Kigomani has a coastline full of palm trees and hard-working, friendly people. More than 90% of the staff tending to your wishes at SeVi Boutique Hotel Zanzibar are Kigomani natives – our way of giving back to the community and supporting the local economy. This benefits your holiday experience too as it puts you in touch with the village residents, who know the area and its customs and traditions well. They are happy to share the values of the Swahili people with you.

The management of SeVi Boutique Hotel Zanzibar furthers cultural exchanges and community support. As a guest, your contribution to the welfare of the village is welcomed and encouraged. For example, the Kigomani Primary School is in constant need of supplies like books and stationery, and if you find room to pack such items in your luggage to support the pupils, your gift will be valued. Donations of clothing for the students are highly appreciated too.

Besides interactions with our staff, we also facilitate meetings between our guests and village artisans for those interested in purchasing handmade items and authentic souvenirs – another facet of community support that benefits all parties.
