Day 3

Pemba Island

At mid-morning, transfer to the airport to catch a flight to Pemba Island. Overnight at Pemba Island on Bed & Breakfast Basis. Pemba Island, known as “The Green Island” lies within the Swahili Coast in the Indian Ocean about 50 kilometres north of Unguja, the largest island in the archipelago. Pemba’s inhabitants are predominantly Muslim with a much more strongly retained tradition than Zanzibar. It gets fewer visitors – and hence sees less of the outside world. Witness local customs such as women wearing veils, and interact with villagers primarily conversing in Swahili. Pemba boasts numerous dive sites characterized by steep drop-offs, unspoiled coral formations, and an abundance of marine life.

Day 4-6

Pemba Island

On leisure at Pemba Island on Bed and Breakfast. There is an option to do a tour of Pemba towns or go to Misali island for snorkelling and diving. Most of the island, which is hillier and more fertile than Unguja, is dominated by small scale farming. There is also large-scale farming of cash crops such as cloves. There is a quite large Arab community on the island, who immigrated from Oman. The population is a mix of Arab and original Waswahili inhabitants of the island. A significant portion of the population also identifies as Shirazi people. The most important towns in Pemba are Chake-Chake (the capital), Mkoani, and Wete, which is the largest city. Pemba is, with the exception of a strip of land along its eastern coast, a very fertile place: besides clove trees, the locals grow mainly rice, coconut, bananas, cassava and red beans (called maharagwe in the Swahili language).
