Chake Chake

Lively Chake Chake, set on a ridge overlooking mangrove-filled Chake Chake Bay, is Pemba’s main town and the best base for visiting the island’s southern half. There’s no equivalent of Stone Town here, but it’s an appealingly scruffy city whose compact core is packed tight with small shops and makes for an interesting walk. One of the interesting excursions in Pemba is City Tour, 3 hours very guided tour, which takes you to most historical sites in Pemba. You will visit Chake town market (opened 1904). Here you will be able to see and buy tropical fruits and spices (if you wish).
