Our Opinion
|
|
Fumba Lodge is a delightful little place only 30 minutes south of Stone Town that has only recently opened. The lodge has now had the benefit of a full rainy season and the vegetation is at its best. This is a charming, un-commercialised lodge with only 26 rooms and which makes maximum use of its local assets. The two Baobab Suites, built either side of a huge baobab tree near the beach are an example of this. We like the look of Fumba very much...particularly if you want peace and total relaxation away from TVs, etc.

YOUR HOST
|
|
Run by a very likeable Dutchman called Edwin, Fumba Lodge is exactly the type of lodge we like to see appearing on the Zanzibar coastline...small, intimate and the sort of place that will result in sustainable tourism with integration ito the local community.

MENAI BAY CONSERVATION AREA
|
|
Menai Bay has been dedicated as a conservation area since 1998 due to its outstanding natural beauty. Established by the World Wildlife Federation (WWF), Menai Bay Conservation Area was designed to give Zanzibaris in the Fumba area a vested interest in their environment so they will protect it. The project is aimed at teaching villagers how to conserve their natural heritage, and how to profitably exploit it in a sustainable manner. Eco-tourism plays an important role in that profitability and Fumba Beach Lodge is the first and only lodge offering accommodation on the pristine Fumba Peninsula.
