The 7 eco-bungalows are designed to provide both privacy and a sense of freedom of living in the open. All bungalows overlook the sea and it takes just 30 seconds to stroll from the comfort of your hammock to feeling the warm tropical ocean lapping at your feet. The bungalows have large living rooms and are all self-contained. As there is no ground water on Chumbe, each bungalow collects its own freshwater supply during the rainy season. The ‘grey’ water, from showers and hand basins, is filtered through substrate & plant beds to avoid polluted water from seeping into the sea. Each bungalow is equipped with its own solar-power panels for hot water & lighting, and has composting toilets. The dining room is under the impressive roof of Chumbe’s visitors centre, overlooking the ocean between Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania. An abundance of mouth-watering dishes are served in a mixture of Zanzibarian, Arabic, Indian and African tastes and satisfy both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Price: 3 nights in Chumbe eco-bungalows on a full board basis starts from £330 per person (based on 2 people sharing), including all soft drinks, park fees, activities such as forest walks & guided snorkelling, and boat transfers.
