Chumbe Island

Accommodation on Chumbe Island is something really special. A real Robinson Crusoe island!

Romantic bungalows are designed to provide both privacy and a sense of freedom of living in the open, appealing to anyone with a passion for natural beauty.  All bungalows overlook the sea and it takes just seconds to stroll from the comforts of your bungalow hammock to feeling the warm tropical ocean lapping at your feet. 

The seven bungalows have 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 fabric and comfortable hammocks. 

Staying on Chumbe includes everything except alcoholic drinks. All the food, soft drinks, snacks, park fees, park ranger services like forest walks, guided snorkeling on the reef (with all equipment provided), with scheduled boat transfers both to and from the island.

Dining takes place under the impressive roof of the visitor's centre, which overlooks the sea between Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania. Chefs provide an abundant supply of mouth-watering dishes that are a mixture of Zanzibarian, Arabic, Indian and African tastes and satisfy both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
