Pemba Green Escape
Four days on the clove island: a small lodge, a village walk, and water clear enough to see the reef from the boat.
Pemba
From $760 per person, indicative. Confirmed in our reply.
Pemba is not a second Zanzibar. The roads are slower, the forests thicker, and the resorts fewer. This plan is for guests who want that, with a reliable boat and a host who knows the island.
Highlights
- Flight or ferry coordination from Zanzibar
- Misali Island waters by local boat, weather allowing
- Clove and village walk with a community guide
- Three nights in a small lodge

Can you combine this with Zanzibar?
Yes. Ask for both in the same inquiry and we will propose the ferry or the short flight between the islands.
