About Pemba for Solo Travelers

Tanzania's forgotten island β€” Pemba's clove forests, pristine reefs, and near-total absence of tourists make it one of East Africa's last genuinely undiscovered solo destinations.

Solo Travel TipsΒ· Confident Solo

Pemba Island is genuinely off the beaten path β€” far fewer tourists than Zanzibar, outstanding diving (among the best in East Africa), and a deeply authentic Swahili atmosphere. Getting here requires a flight from Dar or an unreliable ferry β€” plan carefully. Solo divers will be grouped with others at the dive centres. This is a destination for experienced solo travelers who want somewhere truly undiscovered.
