Chumbe Island Coral Park

Tanzania · East Africa

Chumbe Island Coral Park is the first privately managed marine sanctuary in Africa, protecting over 350 coral species in the Zanzibar Channel. Strict no-take zoning since 1994 means the reef ecosystem — crowned by giant humphead parrotfish and patrolling eagle rays — has rebounded to exceptional density.
