Reasons To
Visit Zanzibar Archipelago

  • Beaches

    Zanzibar, an island located just off Dar es Salaam, is blessed with a coastline of picture perfect beaches. There are miles of white sand leading into shallow turquoise water lined with offshore reefs and dotted with small fishing villages sheltering under coconut palms.

  • Dhow Cruises

    At high tide all the dhows sail in to the various beaches and harbours on Zanzibar and lively bartering for the day’s catch ensues. Cruising around the islands on a traditional dhow boat is one of the best ways to experience Zanzibar.

  • Diving & Snorkelling

    Mafia is the site of Tanzania’s first marine national park, covering 800 square kilometres and with over 460 species of fish and fantastic corals. There are a wide variety of dive and snorkel spots in the Archipelago with something to offer for all abilities.

  • Rest & Relaxation

    There are some very busy beaches, backed by large resorts which we don’t use. We have driven all round the island and found quiet beaches with small boutique hotels and simple lodges. We’ll drive you across the island to these and you can relax in peace.

  • Swahili Culture

    Flanked by the sea, Stone Town is exotic and steeped in Swahili history. Laden dhows sail in to the port, crumbling buildings cast shadows over labyrinthine streets and the smell of spices fills the air. Much of Stone Town was built in the 19th Century and remains unchanged to this day.

  • Turtles

    The most commonly found turtle in Zanzibar is the green turtle, followed by the hawksbill. Both nest in Zanzibar and Pemba is one of the best places to see them. There are several projects being run to help protect these endangered animals and their nesting sites.

Fumba Beach Lodge

Zanzibar Island

Fumba Beach Lodge is situated on a remote peninsula south of Zanzibar's Stone Town. It is set in a beautiful area that has been designated a Conservation Area.

Fumba Beach is the first and only lodge in the area. The lodge is set in 40 acres of wilderness with three naturally sheltered beaches. It is small and personal with only 27 rooms. The rooms are scattered throughout the grounds, shaded by a forest of baobab trees and palms.

Rooms fall into three categories - twenty of the rooms are deluxe cottages. Each is decorated in bright fresh colours and has en suite bathroom, private terrace and stunning ocean view. Then, there are four luxury suites which have private roof terraces, open air showers and baths overlooking the ocean. Finally, there are two fabulous baobab suites built in and around the huge baobab trees.

Above the beach there is a beautiful pool, simple open-air restaurant and beach bar carved from an old Zanzibari dhow.

The lodge has its own dive centre, which can arrange diving, snorkelling, game fishing in the Zanzibar Channel and boat trips to sandbanks and small islands. Trips into Stone Town, Spice Farms and the Jozani Forest can also be arranged.
