1. 琼贝岛（Chumbe Island）：桑给巴尔的隐世生态奇迹
在坦桑尼亚（Tanzania）的桑给巴尔群岛（Zanzibar Archipelago）西南方，漂浮着一座宛如“诺亚方舟”般的私人岛屿——琼贝岛（Chumbe Island）。这不仅是一个度假胜地，更是世界上首个私人管理的海洋保护区（Marine Protected Area, MPA）。
与桑给巴尔主岛（Unguja）的热闹喧嚣不同，琼贝岛是一片绝对静谧的净土。这里没有拥挤的游客，没有摩托艇的轰鸣，只有纯粹的自然之声。
1.1 为什么琼贝岛被称为“印度洋上的诺亚方舟”？
琼贝岛的核心价值在于其极致的生态保护。岛屿周边的珊瑚礁是东非海岸保存最完好的浅水珊瑚花园之一，拥有超过200种石珊瑚和400多种鱼类。为了保护这片脆弱的生态系统，岛上严格禁止捕鱼、抛锚，甚至潜水（Scuba Diving）也是被禁止的，只允许对环境影响较小的浮潜（Snorkeling）。
1.2 严格的限流政策：每天仅接待14位过夜客人的秘密
琼贝岛的稀缺性在于其严格的“人数控制”。岛上仅有7栋生态小屋，这意味着在任何一个夜晚，岛上最多只有14位幸运的过夜客人。这种极致的私密性，让你仿佛拥有了整座岛屿，体验真正的“鲁滨逊漂流记”式的奢华——不是金碧辉煌的硬件，而是被大自然独宠的奢侈。
2. 沉浸式自然体验：在琼贝岛玩什么？
2.1 浮潜天堂：探索东非保存最完好的浅水珊瑚礁（Coral Reef Sanctuary）
对于热爱海洋的人来说，琼贝岛的浮潜体验是世界级的。由于是全封闭保护区，这里的海洋生物对人类毫无戒心。你只需在向导的带领下，游出沙滩几十米，就能看到色彩斑斓的鹦嘴鱼、成群的蓝纹笛鲷，甚至有机会偶遇在这里休憩的玳瑁海龟（Hawksbill Turtles）和黑鳍礁鲨。
2.2 陆地探险：穿越珊瑚岩森林与攀登百年灯塔
除了水下世界，岛上覆盖着茂密的珊瑚岩森林（Coral Rag Forest）。这是一种生长在古老珊瑚化石上的特殊植被系统。在向导的带领下，你可以进行一次森林徒步，寻找仅存在于桑给巴尔的珍稀动物——阿德氏桑吉贝（Ader's Duiker），这是一种体型极小的森林羚羊。
岛上还矗立着一座建于1904年的历史灯塔（Historical Lighthouse），攀登至塔顶，你可以俯瞰整个岛屿和远处深邃的印度洋，视野极佳。
2.3 夜间巡游：寻找传说中的巨型椰子蟹（Coconut Crabs）
如果你选择过夜，绝对不能错过晚餐后的夜间徒步（Night Walk）。琼贝岛是世界上最大的陆生节肢动物——椰子蟹（Coconut Crabs）的庇护所。这些巨大的螃蟹在夜间出没，它们强有力的钳子甚至能剥开椰子。在手电筒的微光下近距离观察这些史前生物，是琼贝岛最令人难忘的体验之一。
3. 住在自然里：零碳生态小屋（Eco-bungalows）体验
3.1 独特的“拉链式”建筑设计与海风空调
琼贝岛的住宿并非传统酒店，而是极具巧思的生态小屋（Eco-bungalows）。这些建筑采用当地材料建造，通过独特的屋顶设计收集雨水，并利用自然通风系统代替空调（这里没有空调）。
最特别的是，小屋的前墙由编织材料制成，可以通过滑轮像拉链一样“降下”。当你躺在床上时，眼前就是无遮挡的星空和大海，仿佛睡在天地之间。
3.2 环保与舒适的平衡：关于堆肥厕所与雨水收集系统
入住前需做好心理准备：这里的一切都为了“零排放”。洗澡水来自经过太阳能加热的雨水，而厕所则是先进的堆肥式厕所（Composting Toilet）。虽然听起来原始，但技术非常成熟，干净且无异味。这是入住琼贝岛必须接受的“环保契约”，也是体验的一部分。
4. 实用攻略：交通、预订与一日游对比
4.1 如何前往：从石头城（Stone Town）到姆布韦尼（Mbweni）的接驳细节
前往琼贝岛的唯一方式是乘坐官方安排的船只。通常，船只从距离石头城（Stone Town）约15分钟车程的姆布韦尼遗址酒店（Mbweni Ruins Hotel）附近的码头出发。船程约30–45分钟。请注意，船次严格受潮汐影响，务必提前与管理方确认出发时间。
4.2 艰难的选择：一日游还是过夜住宿？
- 一日游（Day Trip）：适合预算有限或行程紧凑的游客。包含往返船票、午餐、浮潜和森林徒步。缺点是行程较赶，无法体验夜间巡游和清晨独自包揽海滩的宁静。
- 过夜住宿（Overnight Stay）：强烈推荐。虽然价格较高（通常每人每晚$280起，含全餐），但包含了所有活动费用。只有过夜才能真正感受到岛屿的魔力，尤其是晚餐时在灯塔下的烛光晚宴，以及与椰子蟹的夜间邂逅。
4.3 最佳旅行季节与行前必备清单
- 最佳季节：6月至10月（旱季，凉爽）和12月至2月（热季，水清）。3月至5月是雨季，可能会有阵雨。
- 必备物品：
- 礁石鞋（Reef Shoes）：岛上沙滩混合了珊瑚碎屑，赤脚行走可能会痛。
- 环保防晒霜：为了保护珊瑚，必须使用对海洋友好的防晒霜。
- 手电筒/头灯：虽然房间提供太阳能灯，但自带光源方便夜间行走。

This is a well maintained private island. We visited the island for 1 day. After arrival, we got fresh juice. After the exploration. We could relax 30 minutes and then an amazing snorkling tour. All equipment was available for snorkling. About 1 hour snorkling at a unique place. Beautiful corral reef and beautiful fish 🐟 in all colours. After snorkling, there was an extended lunch with fish and salad. After lunch, some time to relax and fly my drone. It's amazing to see this island 🏝 from the sky by a drone. At 3 o clock, there was a one hour tour in the forest. With a good explanation of the medicinal working of some trees. Also, a 1000 years old baobab tree was on the island in the mangrove forest. After the walk a short tour in the water for sharks 🦈. Vegetarian sharks! At 4.30 back to zanzibar. What an amazing people, place, and marine life.

This place definitely holds a warm spot in my heart! It’s among my Zanzibar highlights! I highly recommend spending one night here. The snorkeling was the main attraction for me. Even learned how to swim here! The reef was so pretty that snorkeling with a life ring wasn’t enough and I just dived down under and that was that. The staff were really kind and friendly and the food was very clean and healthy. The eco-friendly approach might not be everyone’s style but it’s definitely the right approach in order to preserve the natural beauty surrounding it!

This is a treasure of an island. The coral, for me, was the star. Very healthy and beautiful. We stayed for three nights and in hindsight maybe two would have been better, the island is rather small. However, while we were there many scientists were visiting too, clearly enchanted with the opportunities to explore flora and fauna, so it’s likely a matter of taste. A few things I wish I would have known: the toilets are compost ones (this is glamping, y’all), we didn’t have any problems with mosquitos but there is no inside/outside here, there’s coverings but if it’s raining (which it was most days for us) everything will be wet to some degree. On the topic of water, when you’re packing, think about packing in water proof bags, because while the staff takes care in their journeys, you’re at the mercy of the elements at every step of the way. All in all, really impressive operation. It is glamping but the staff over many years have taken great care to keep the creature comforts high. Really remarkable place. Wish there were more like it.

Chumbe Island ist the perfect location for everybody who needs a break from busy everyday life or is even planning to do digital detox. You get a wonderful nature experience, can spot blacktip reef sharks, explore the high biodiversity of the protected reef and learn a lot about sustainability and the protection of our environment. It's definitely worth it to stay overnight to watch the beautiful sunset, enjoy a dreamy dinner and of course spot the nocturnal coconut crabs. 🦀 The team is doing a great job and everybody is super friendly and tries to make your stay as cozy as possible. Definitely should not miss out a trip to Chumbe when visiting Zanzibar. I loved it!

We had to push our reservation at Chumbe for years due to COVID- they were super respnsive and helpful. We had an incredible time. The island is beautiful and our one day stay was packed with activities. We snorkeled over their beautiful reefs, walked through the forest on the island, and heard a presentation on their eco-friendly and conservation efforts. The meals were delicious with breakfast/lunch overlooking the ocean and dinner around a palm tree by candlelight. We even got to see the incredible coconut crabs at night. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was a wonderful day and perfect addition to our honeymoon.
