Book Pemba accommodation in advance if travelling during the December/January and
South African Easter school holidays.
TOWN CENTRE
Central Pemba has slim accommodation offerings. For most travellers it's only worth con-
sidering staying in town if you can't find anything at Wimbi Beach or if you have an early
morning bus.

This ageing hotel on the main street is well past its prime, although the
