Chumbe Island Coral Park

“The island is amazing and you should definitely spend a night there. The bungalows are also nice and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and the walk in the forest and coconut crab walk were so informative!”

“Fantastic experience being on a private island that is such a unique coral and forest sanctuary. Welcoming staff that go out of their way to make your stay exceptional. The best food we’ve had in Zanzibar - a great chef who’s been with the park for 20y making delicious local specialties. The bungalows are very comfortable and have all an eco bungalow needs - spacious, with enough air going through at night so we didn’t need to use the fans. Most are tucked in the mangrove, only meters from the sea so you fall asleep to sounds of birds and insects and the gentle waves. Only #6&7 seem to have real sea view but we didn’t mind, we were always on the beach and in the water anyways. The preserved nature - coral and marine life, mangrove flora and fauna reveal themselves in all their splendor. Over the 4 days we spent there we saw turtles, dolphins, sharks, many varieties of fish, stingrays, octopus and some lobsters and many many crabs small and giant like the famous coconut crabs. We just can’t wait to be able to go back. Asante and bravo to the whole devoted team!”

“Food, location and service was top notch!”

“The place is amazing. An original project with great achievement in protection, research and conservation of the Coral Reef and also zero impact on the environment. The staff is passionate about their work. The food is great. Instead of doing a Safari Blue in Zanzibar better spend at least one night on Chumbe Island. It is a great experience. You won't be sorry.”

“Great traditional food and fantastic snorkeling”
