Zanzibar
Location
This beach escape will take you to two of Zanzibar‘s best-sought islands: Unguja also known as “Zanzibar” and Pemba. Unguja is the largest and most populated island of the Zanzibar archipelago and therefore has the most developed tourism industry. Here you will find cozy restaurants with quite a number of accommodation with good beaches to choose from and activities to occupy you with.
Pemba is less developed but nothing short of exotic beauty. It is known for its lush, green hills and clove plantations. The Pemba Channel, with its coral reefs and abundant marine life, separates the island from mainland Tanzania.

Pemba towns / Misali 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).
