A slightly more upmarket choice than Prison Island, Chapwani or Grave Island, is the site of a luxury hotel, but day visitors who come to eat and drink in the bar and restaurant are permitted.

Chapwani Island is the site of a British Naval Cemetery, the final resting place of sailors who perished while serving in Zanzibar. The victims of the world war one attack on the HMS Pegasus by the German warship Konigsberg are also buried here.

Its interesting to wander around the graveyard and decipher the ages and causes of the death of servicemembers – many died from tropical diseases or were killed in skirmishes with local slavers.Chapwani also has a beautiful white sandy beach and a small population of duikers (a type of miniature antelope), as well as some interesting birdlife.
