Surrounding Islands near Zanzibar

Zanzibar's surrounding islands - Pemba, Mafia, Chumbe and Mnemba - are for the most part much less densely populated than Zanzibar island, and home to some of the finest beaches and wildlife attractions available in the archipelago.

All the planning and conversations we had prior to our trip proved to be invaluable.
