Electricity Update - Fumba Beach Lodge

As you might be aware of, since the last 2 weeks the whole of Zanzibar experience an power blackout because of a fault at the main transformer. The power should have been turned on yesterday (It did for 20 minutes) but another problem occurred and we are looking at no electricity for the whole of Zanzibar for the coming 3 weeks before power will return to Zanzibar.

We at Fumba Beach Lodge are trying to get as much electricity per day by means of generators, however its not 24 hours a day. Water is not an problem as we have our own borehole and we are supplying the village as well. In the last week 2 tankers arrived on Zanzibar to offload diesel and we are stocking up 2000 to 3000 liters in order to keep going in case of shortage of fuel.
