Overview of Chumbe Island Coral Park

Situated on Chumbe Island, in a Marine Protected Area off the coast of Zanzibar, Chumbe Island Coral Park is located in an award-winning private nature reserve founded to preserve the island’s exceptional environment. The small, state-of-the-art eco-lodge offers accommodation in unique thatched bungalows situated right on the beach.

Explore the beauty of Chumbe Island in the company of a trained park ranger or you can set out on your own with the help of laminated cards and leaflets available. Snorkel through the shallow water Reef Sanctuary, explore the Forest Reserve or look for historical monuments. Alternatively, allow yourself a lazy day at the beach watching dhows and outrigger boats go by.
