Discover the Essence of Community Living amid Historic Charm and Lush Gardens in Zanzibar
Formerly known as the Jungle Paradise Resort, 2024 marked a profound shift in our vision and purpose at Mbweni. In this transformation time, we aspire to transform Mbweni from a commercial resort into a regeneration hub; a thriving community woven together by a shared dedication to history, nature, and the boundless possibilities of regeneration. We would like to invite you to join hands in crafting a narrative that transcends time.
At Mbweni, we live by the mantra "Create, Play, Grow." We wholeheartedly believe in the power of co-creation, the joy of play, and the constant pursuit of personal growth. This mantra encapsulates our commitment to fostering a community where creativity knows no bounds, where the spirit of play is celebrated for everyone, and where growth extends beyond individual aspirations to embrace the collective flourishing of both people and the environment.
In our pursuit of "Create, Play, Grow," the Mbweni Manifesto serves as a concise call to action, uniting our community members in a shared commitment to equality, sustainability, and community betterment.
We harness our power, eschewing blame for external factors, embracing responsibility for our collective impact. We commit to positive change through self-improvement.
Our community thrives on respect, prioritizing it over fear or ego. Differing opinions are welcomed with tolerance, fostering a harmonious environment.
We honor finite resources, actively choosing sustainability in products and services. Our aim is to contribute to a healthier, more balanced world.
Critical thinking guides our consumption of information. We pledge to produce truth, rejecting deceit and manipulation.
Rejecting data commodification, we acknowledge the value of every online action. We agree to pay for resources, minimizing manipulation and overconsumption.
More than just a hospitality establishment; as a regenerative hub, we are committed to setting a model for transformative change within the broader landscape of the industry.
We pledge to cultivate a harmonious community that fosters creating impact, personal growth, and at the same time, having a good time. This is our pathway towards regenerative living, where the essence lies in not just sustaining but actively contributing to the well-being of our community and the places we touch.
Join us on a journey of transformation as we fullfil our commitment – a glimpse into a future where positive impact and enriching experiences converge.
