Immigration is 500m up the main road from the port in the town proper and the Chinese-
run Abdalla Mzee Hospital, Pemba's best, is up the next hill in Uweleni. The rumour
around town is that the People's Bank of Zanzibar branch scheduled to open here will have
an internationally linked ATM.

and Konde (Tsh3500, 2½ hours) from in front of the port. See Pemba Getting There &

The run-down town of Wete, Pemba's second largest port, is a good base for exploring
northern Pemba. It's also the easiest place to see Pemba flying foxes (

with a
large colony hanging from some trees just uphill from the port. At night they fly off to the
north past Annex of Sharook guesthouse.
