Chumbe Island Coral Park is an Island based Marine Protected Area. It is a financially self-sustaining Conservation and Education Project, managed by a limited company with not for profit objectives, where funding is provided by visitors to the Park who stay in the stunning and innovative 7 room Eco-Lodge on the island.
Accommodation on Chumbe Island is - in many aspects - something really special. It's what Robinson Crusoe could only have dreamt about!
Firstly, the bungalows themselves are so brilliantly designed that they provide both privacy and a sense of freedom of living in the open (see "Eco-bungalows" for more information). Many of our clients find these bungalows exceptionally romantic (honeymooners love them), but any individual with a passion for natural beauty will find these bungalows captivating beyond measure. All bungalows overlook the sea and it takes just 30 seconds to stroll from the comforts of your bungalow hammock to feeling the warm tropical ocean lapping at your feet. All bungalows are equipped with:
double or twin beds in the sleeping area under the palmthatched roof,
self-contained bathrooms with hot & cold shower,
large living rooms, equipped with handmade furniture and
decorated with African art and colourful fabrics... (and very comfortable hammocks).
Since there are only seven bungalows, the island never gets crowded, even when we are fully booked.
Lots of activities are waiting for you on and around Chumbe Island. (Make sure you bring enough time with you!)
The whole of Chumbe Island is a nature reserve and you may explore its beauties either under the competent guidance of our park rangers or at your leisure.
Snorkel through our unique shallow water Reef Sanctuary or explore the Forest Reserve and historical monuments. Take an excursion out SCUBA diving the nearby reefs, or perhaps just allow yourself a lazy day watching dhows and outrigger boats.
