Description

Begin your day with a journey to Pemba Island, where Gombani Stadium is located. Choose between a short domestic flight from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) to Karume Airport (PMA) in Chake-Chake or a scenic ferry ride from Zanzibar Stone Town to Mkoani or Wete in Pemba. Upon arrival, head to Gombani Stadium, a significant sporting landmark on Pemba Island. Spend time exploring the exterior and, if possible, the interior of the stadium. Learn about the history of the stadium, the local football culture, and any notable events that have taken place there. Capture photos of the stadium and its surroundings. Next, head to the bustling Chake-Chake Market. Experience local life, observe daily commerce, and see a variety of fresh produce, spices, and local crafts. Try some local snacks or fresh fruit from the market vendors. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Chake-Chake, savoring traditional Zanzibari or Pemban cuisine. Look for establishments serving fresh seafood, pilau, or biryani. After lunch, visit the Pemba Museum, located in the historic Chake-Chake Fort. The museum offers insights into the island's history, culture, and archaeological findings. It's a good way to understand the broader context of Pemba Island. Finally, take a short drive to the Kidike Flying Fox Sanctuary. This sanctuary is home to a large colony of Pemba flying foxes, a species endemic to the island. It's a unique opportunity to observe these large fruit bats in their natural habitat. Local guides can provide information about their behavior and conservation efforts.
