About Zanya

A little play.
A way to connect.
A sense of community.

A shared laugh can start a conversation. A game can turn unfamiliar faces into people you feel at home with. Zanya creates those opportunities to connect, because stronger communities begin with the moments we share.

Through nostalgic childhood games, shared challenges and playful moments, we make space for people of every age and background to meet, enjoy one another and build a sense of belonging.

From public Zanya Play Fests to workplace teams and private gatherings, community and connection remain at the heart of what we do.

Community is the purpose.
Play is how we connect.

The games bring us into the same space. What matters is the connection we build while we’re there.

The people behind the play

Thoughtfully planned.
Warmly hosted.

Zanya is based in Uganda, bringing shared play to families, friends, communities and workplace teams.

Behind each experience is a team shaping the activities, guiding the games and helping people feel welcome. We care about the details that make it easier to join in—from clear instructions to a friendly atmosphere.

We find our inspiration in community and connection: people meeting, sharing a laugh and discovering how much they can enjoy together. That is what brings us together as the team behind Zanya.

Our approach is simple: understand the people, shape the play and make space for connection.
