Fumba Town Zanzibar

Fumba Town is a new town under development on the Fumba Peninsula in Zanzibar, Tanzania. According to the page ACL Property Group dedicates to it, the site lies 15 km south of Zanzibar International Airport and about a 20-minute drive from Stone Town. The project is under construction. Prices, the number of homes, unit sizes and handover dates are not published on that page or on the official project website.

Where is Fumba Town

The project sits on the Fumba Peninsula, on the island of Zanzibar. ACL Property Group gives two landmarks: Zanzibar International Airport, 15 km to the north, and Stone Town, the historic old town, roughly twenty minutes away by road. The official project website also says that several educational institutions are located on the Fumba Peninsula or close to it, without naming them.

Who is behind the project

This listing names ACL Property Group as the developer. ACL's page presents the project and describes the company as a real estate services provider in Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania, without stating its exact role in Fumba Town. The official project website, fumba.town, features CPS Africa, a company "under the stewardship of the Dietzold family", as a real estate partner on the African east coast. Before committing to anything, ask in writing which company sells the home, which one builds it and which one signs the contract.

The homes

ACL Property Group presents a range called Vizazi Homes, designed to adapt as a family grows. The official website mentions a variety of designs, apartment sizes and styles. ACL's page refers to generous spaces and state-of-the-art products, with no floor areas given. The exact unit types (studio, apartment, house, villa), number of rooms and finishes have to be requested from the seller.

Announced amenities

Both websites describe the amenities planned for the town. These are the developer's announcements, not an inspection report:

• children's play areas and green spaces, according to ACL Property Group and the official website;
• 24/7 security, according to the information on this listing;
• co-working spaces, a gym, a supermarket, a library and a food court, according to fumba.town;
• a beach bar, parks and a health care facility described as "European-standard", according to fumba.town;
• a permaculture and sustainability concept, highlighted on the official website.

Which amenities are already open and which are still planned is not stated. Ask about each one that matters to you.

Who the project is aimed at

According to this listing's description, the development targets families, people living on their own and travellers. The contact form on the official website offers topics covering residency and work, investment, and existing clients.
