Chapwani Island

Private island in Mjini Magharibi Region of Zanziabr, Tanzania

Chapwani Island (Kisiwa cha Chapwani, in Swahili) is a private island located in Malindi ward of Mjini District in Mjini Magharibi Region, Tanzania. A British naval cemetery located in Chapwani serves as the last resting place for servicemen who died while serving in Zanzibar.[1] These are the graves of those who perished in the attack by the German cruiser SMS Königsberg on the British protected cruiser HMS Pegasus during World War One. [2] [3] Interms of marine protection, Changuu and Chapwani reefs were seen as less protected, whereas Chumbe reefs and Kizimkazi reefs were thought to be well protected. [4]
