pemba insel

pemba - the northernmost Island of the archipelago pemba is still the world's
major clove producer, but has now slipped into its more traditional role of being an
Island Paradise with small inter-island trade. Chake wharf is now mainly used for
swimming and fishing.
pemba was seized by the Sultan of Muscat (now Oman) in the 17th century. He was 
so enchanted by the Spice Islands that he installed himself in Zanzibar and ruled Muscat
from there. When the Western Colonial powers came to East Africa the British forced
the Sultanates of Muscat and Zanzibar to separate and then administered the Spice
Islands in the name of the Sultan.

All the while, the Arab dhows would ply the trade winds down from the Arabian
Peninsula to East Africa. With the winds they would take cloves to India, textiles back
to the Arab lands and silver and wood to the Spice Islands.
The Dhows have remained a constant throughout the history of Pemba. To this day
they ply the run from Wete to Shimoni in Kenya and, when the winds are favourable
they plough through to Northern Mozambique.
Pemba is a magical island. Unlike Unguja, Pemba is hilly. Gentle, undulating hills and deep
verdant valleys are all covered with a dense cover of clove, coconut and mango
plantations.
A more fertile land it is difficult to imagine. But it is not just the landscape that gives
Pemba its magical reputation. For centuries Pemba has held a reputation as a centre for
the juju traditions of medicine and magic.
There certainly is a strange atmosphere on Pemba. How can so beautiful a place be so
devoid of visitors ? On an island with a population of 300,000 there can rarely be more
than a couple of dozen foreigners. It is as if the people of Pemba have a secret that
they refuse to let go.
That is not to say that the people here are not friendly on Pemba. Traveling in Pemba is
like traveling in unknown territory. In the countryside, villagers are eager to talk to
passers-by and small children cry at the sight of a muzungu.(white man) In town,
market stallholders call you over and sit you down to try their different fruits, laughing
hysterically at your reaction. The down side about traveling in Pemba is the lack of
infrastructure and facilities. The visitor simply has to be prepared to 'rough it', unless
staying at one of only a few decent accommodations. The only guesthouses on Pemba
are at Mkoani, Chake Chake and Wete. All are very small, modest and with basic
facilities.
On Pemba food must be bought at the local markets and shops. Generally the only place
to eat out is at the local stalls or at one of the few guesthouses.
Transport is limited to a few taxis, private cars and the public bus service. Beyond this,
walking is the only option, unless you have arranged pre-booked transfers.
