Day 3
Pemba Island
Pemba Island
At mid-morning, transfer to the airport to catch a flight to Pemba Island. Overnight at Pemba Island on a bed & breakfast basis. Pemba Island, known as "The Green Island", lies within the Swahili Coast in the Indian Ocean about 50 kilometers north of Unguja, the largest island in the archipelago. Pemba's inhabitants are predominantly Muslim with a much strongly retained tradition than Zanzibar. It gets fewer visitors - and hence sees less of the outside world. Here you get to see women wearing the veil, and might come across villagers who only speak Swahili. Pemba is home to several dive sites, with steep drop-offs, untouched coral, and very abundant marine life.

Day 4-6
Pemba Island
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 snorkeling 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).
