Chumbe Island Coral Park
Chumbe Island is a fully protected private island, off the coast of Zanzibar, home to a stunning Coral Reef Sanctuary and Forest Reserve that is entirely funded through ecotourism revenue. You will be accommodated in one of Chumbe Island's seven stunning solar-powered eco-bungalows, perfectly blended with the surrounding nature and located between the beach and the forest. Each bungalow is equipped with a king-size bed on a sleeping platform under a palm-thatched roof (twins and triple beds can be provided by arrangement), a living room equipped with handmade furniture and decorated with African art, colorful fabrics, and a very comfortable bed-style hammock, and a self-contained bathroom (with shower, sink, and high-specification composting toilet). Chumbe Island has a Visitor and Education center and activities in the park include snorkeling, nature trails and historical ruins such as the old lighthouse. All overnights on Chumbe Island are full board (excluding alcoholic beverages). The island is accessed via a boat transfer from Mbweni, approximately 3.7 mi from Stone Town.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.
