Location
Chumbe Island Coral Park is a short boat ride from Stone Town.
Highlights
- The Chumbe Island Coral Park is a unique privately managed nature reserve developed and managed by the Chumbe Island Coral Park
Ltd. (CHICOP). It is a rare example of a still pristine coral island ecosystem in an otherwise heavily overfished and over-exploited
area. The reserve includes a reef sanctuary, which has become the first gazetted marine park in Tanzania, and a forest reserve.
- Being a Marine Protected Area (MPA) the focal aim of the Chumbe Island Coral Park Project is to preserve Chumbe Island's exceptional environment.
Therefore they have built accommodation based on the state-of-the-art of eco-architecture and eco-technology.
- It is a financially self-sustaining Conservation and Education Project, managed by a non-profit organization, where funding is provided by visitors to
the Park who stay in the Eco-Lodge.
