The name Tanzania conjures up images of wildebeest stampeding across vast savannah, rain forests teeming with monkeys and birdlife, and great plains brimming with legions of game. All of these natural wonders and more are on offer in this exceptionally diverse African nation. Visitors typically visit Tanzania to partake in at least one of the four well-known Tanzanian tourist experiences: a relaxing seaside vacation on the picturesque island paradise of Zanzibar, an underwater tour of some of the world’s most renowned dive sites around the gorgeous Spice Islands, a safari adventure in some of Africa’s most impressive game reserves, or a hiking excursion around Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. Whichever of these incredible holidays you choose, you will undoubtedly be welcomed by some fabulously friendly and peaceful inhabitants who, despite being divided into 120 different ethnic groups and cultures, live in harmony with one another and provide some of the most wonderfully exotic local cuisine you could imagine. With all of this diversity on offer, the most difficult part of your Tanzanian holiday experience is likely to be deciding where to go!
Fumba is a village on the Tanzanian island of Unguja, the largest and most populated in the Zanzibar Archipelago. The town lies just 30 minutes southwest of the historic capital, Stone Town. It also lies at the end of the Fumba Peninsula on one of Zanzibar’s most secluded beaches, overlooking the Menai Bay. The peninsula, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty by the World Wildlife Federation, forms a significant part of the Menai Bay Conservation Area, an impressive marine haven with pristine and colourful coral reef systems and abundant sea life.
