Pemba Accommodation

Wimbi beach is where everything comes together and you can enjoy the ocean breeze from one of many restaurants along a long palm-fringed beach and on the rare occasion witness local fishermen walk past with a sailfish hanging over his head. While enjoying a cocktail from the clean white beaches, Dolphins can be seen in the calm blue waters. 2009 proved to have the biggest display of Humpback Whales with up to 5 whales at a time often seen breaching close to the shore

You can snorkel at 3-5m deep on Pemba Dive Reef 100m in front of the dive center by taking a Kaskina (traditional canoe) also ideal environment for professional and novice marine underwater photographers, in very calm waters. Just 250m from the dive center the continental shelf drops down to 700m.

We do not have sharks in our waters. The bay offers an extensive variety of soft and hard coral that attract a legion of fish species between 3 - 30m deep, even the rare 1 000kg Sun Fish, large Potato bass, Napoleon wrasses, Dolphins and Turtles all year round..

It is incredible to dive with the orchestra of the male Humpback whales singing their mating rituals right through out the dive between July- October.
Explore around the bay on a Traditional African Arabian dhow trip.

Game and Pelagic fishing trips: go out to sea to pick a good fight with Sailfish, Kingfish, Dogtooth Tuna, Great Barracuda, Couta, Dolphin fish, Wahoo, of which some divers have had the rare opportunity to see them close to shore.

When the wind picks up Kite surfing is popular at Murrebue make sure you travel in a 4x4. Do take the Mecufi turn off, there is no access to Murrebue traveling on the fragile beach.

Sundowners is a must inside the bay when the African sunset dances in front of a secluded beach camp fire, playing with fire balls and beating drums through the night, which makes an unforgettable tropical paradise, the traditional Pemba way.
