After travelling on a traditional Zanzibari Dhow boat for a 20-25 min ride you may enjoy either the humpback dolphins or the bottlenose dolphins! Ukombe is an amazingly healthy abundant reef with a bottom depth of 15 to 18 metres, the top of the reef is only 3 to 5 metres below the surface and offers a variety of colourful reef fish.

The sea here has very generous macro life! Many species of nudibranches, leaf fish, frog fish, several types of scorpion and lion fish, clownfish, cowfish, boxfish, seahorses, pipe fish, banner fish, Moorish idols, butterfly fish, many species of wrasse and some parrot fish, coronet and trumpet fish, many types of eels, up-side-down jelly fish and moon jellies, shrimps, crabs and lobsters…the list is endless!

The reef itself has the most beautiful leaf coral that looks like a rose garden, finger corals, elkhorn coral, table coral, many types of soft corals, mushroom coral, leather coral, sea whips and sea pens, anemones, gorgonian coral, barrel, fan, tube and finger sponges.

Here what our guests have to say from our featured platforms.

I can never stop returning to this beautiful paradise, which always immediately feels like home. With the wonderfully friendly staff, the privacy of the rooms, the beautiful private beach and surrounding nature, you can never get enough! Of course we also can't forget the cocktails at the Dhow bar every evening before dinner. Great to be back and wont be long before I return again. Many thanks to all!

First time Zanzibar, but not our last visit. Stayed with 2 other couples for 10 days and we have had an unbelievable experience @ Fumba.Location is like paradise on earth. Staff is so helpful and they’re always smiling. Some of them are working there for more than 15 years ! We visited also Shiri beach project next door to Fumba. This will be an other tropical holiday experience as they work together with Fumba they told us

We really enjoyed our 8 nights at Fumba Beach Lodge, following a two week safari in Kenya and Tanzania.We loved the location, the privacy in the individual lodges and the many comfortable places to sit and chill. The food was excellent with good menu choices, large portions very nicely presented. All the staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming and the Manager, Sharon checked on guests daily to see that everything was good for them

A wonderful experience, food amazing, nice to be served at the table instead of buffet staff amazing Sharon the manager always around for a chat, spent a very lazy week on the beach with a visit to prison island and stone town but lots of other options to choose for trips. Spent a week at mapenzi beach and this was far more relaxing with less beach boys.

Dive off our boat to explore the wonders of Ukombe Reef with our expert local guides. The 2-3 hour trip gives you the opportunity to sample a small piece of the beauty this area has to offer at a leisurely pace.

For those wanting to experience some solo exploration we also rent out a range of water sport equipment and snorkeling equipment.

  • Double and Single Kayaks 
  • Snorkel equipment                          
  • Stand Up Paddle Boarding

After an extensive snorkel on the lively Ukombe Reef you will travel to one of our secluded atoll islands located in Menai Bay. A gourmet buffet lunch prepared by the Lodge chef is then served while you enjoy the islands treats; swimming in the turquoise blue water, lounging on the soft white beaches, and exploring the lush green mangrove forest. To keep with the tranquillity of the day, you will return to the Lodge under sail on our traditional Dhow boat.

Plunge into the wonders of Menai Bay to get a closer look at the beauty with a scuba dive. Perfect for the advanced or beginner diver, the protected waters of Menai Bay range in depth from 5 to 35 meters. The wide variety of sites ensures that every dive sees something new, and includes drifts along reef walls, a sea mountain and coral gardens. Our Scuba Pro and Aqualung equipment is serviced and maintained to the highest standards and comes in all shapes and sizes.

We leave approximately 30 minutes before sunset with our traditional Dhow boat and drive around Pig Island while the sun goes under the horizon. While we are on the boat a beer or wine will be served and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the ocean.
