than the ruins of an 18th century fort and some 12th century ruins near
Ras Mkumbuu. The town is set on a ridge overlooking Chake Chake Bay and
there is a small dhow port and fish market along the waters edge.
Mkoani: Situated on the southwestern
edge of the island, Mkoani is the smallest of Pemba's main 3 towns.
However, as all passenger boat traffic from Unguja (Zanzibar Island) and
the mainland arrive here, the port is also the busiest and most
important on the island.

town on Pemba, situated on the northwestern part of the island. Wete is
a pleasant town, quieter than Chake Chake, and is a good base for

exported.
