Chumbe Island Coral Park (CHICOP) is an internationally recognized, award winning private island off the coast of Zanzibar, hosting a fully protected coral reef sanctuary and forest reserve.
The overall aim of CHICOP is to create a model of financially and ecologically sustainable park management, where ecotourism supports conservation, research and a comprehensive Environmental Education program for local school children and community members.
The reserve is a marine and terrestrial biodiversity hotspot that harbours rare wildlife, as well as a Visitor Center, seven eco bungalows and historical monuments.
