We had been told about Chumbe but nothing could have prepared us for the beauty of the island, the breathtaking coral, the amazing bandas (bungalows), delicious food & the wonderful welcome by Yussuf. Thank you to everyone on the island for your hospitality.
Rob & Jenny, UK

A fantastic unique island with stunning diversity of wildlife - fauna and flora. The staff with their patient explanations and obvious enjoyment of their jobs make it a very special place.
Francesca & Andrew, SA

Thanks for keeping this little paradise as paradise on earth
Thomas, Switzerland

It was the Serengeti of the islands… what a beautiful heaven! Best wishes for continued success in sustaining eco-tourism and preserving the island for future generations. Everyone should be so blessed to spend at least 1 day in their lifetime here. Thank you all.
Eliane & David V.

The reality of Chumbe far exceeds all expectations. A truly magical place. So much to do, see and learn. It is hard to leave without a greater sensitivity to our place on the planet. The staff are tremendous and the rangers excellent, with amazing knowledge. Thank you all for a fantastic time.

Well, it has been a magical experience being here on Chumbe Island and we both wish we had booked for longer. Thanks to everyone for making it the best part of our honeymoon so far. We’ll miss the bungalow, sound of the sea, hermit crabs, the fabulous food and friendly staff. We’ll be back for an anniversary I’m sure!!
Laura and Pete

Thank you so much for an incredible stay here, it was the highlight of our honeymoon! Everything was better than we could ever have dreamt; the food, the bungalow, the friendly staff, the fascinating information from the guides, the breathtaking reef, and of course, the unsurpassable natural beauty of Chumbe Island. Watch out, one day we’ll be back!! Thank you so much.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! The stresses and tensions just ooze out. You can relax and enjoy an idyllic holiday, guilt-free, in the knowledge that not only are you not damaging this fragile planet but contributing to its protection. Good food, wonderful staff, a learning experience. What more can you ask? Great. All the best for sustaining Chumbe!
M. Carter, England

Absolute heaven! Tranquility, fantastic food and great snorkelling – the perfect combination. Thanks you to all the staff who were so friendly, always smiling and providing brilliant service. Thanks!

What a wonderful week: relaxing, educational, enjoyable, all a result of an excellent staff!!! Your program here is outstanding and may it set the example for comparable programs around the world.

We thought we’d seen much before Chumbe - but this will never be topped! Read much about the project and was amazed when we actually arrived. Kudos to the team & all your hard work. Hopefully Chumbe will start a trend of future projects. Thanks for the adventure.
Christine & David F., Canada

I’ve had a truly wonderful time, 3 nights just in not enough, yet I’m happy to have been lucky to see this paradise at all. It’s a great idea, keep up the good work! This must be surely Zanzibar’s best kept secret.
Des W., England

An inspired educational experience crafted into a perfect holiday. The knowledge of the guides and the courtesy of all the staff combined with the “perfect” tropical island experience has made my birthday, and our holiday, uniquely unforgettable. Finally chumbe-esque will enter the dictionary defining perfection.
Roland and Gabrielle J., UK

A privilege to be here, the smiles, the humour, but above all the feeling that there is something better out there and worth all our efforts to do all we can so that even our grandchildren can take their kids here – hopefully!
Geraldine M., Switzerland

All of my senses prickled and teased
And all of life’s pressures totally eased.
Thank you everyone!
Lee W., UK

The perfect blend of ecology and commerce. May this prove the model for developing… and developed!… nations everywhere. We will happily encourage friends to come share this experience!
Chuck and Bo H., USA

The two days that I spent on this island paradise is equal in “time” to a looooong holiday. Yet, in experiences and lasting memories, it was unique! The island personnel give true meaning to the word “Karibu”. As a first time snorkeller, you opened up a new world to me. Thank you ever so much.
Laetitia K., South Africa.

What a lovely spot to end a busy week’s holiday – the friendly, helpful atmosphere, delicious food and imaginatively planned bandas. This is eco-tourism at its best! Keep up the good work! PS. Loved the reef snorkeling!
Julia and Kristen

Everyone should be so blessed as to spend at least one day in their lifetime here. Thanks you all.
