Pemba

A Tanzanian Birding Safari—from Pemba Island to the Mara River (Part 1: Pemba)

Our epic nineteen day birding safari began with a flight onto the ever so green and sleepy, endemic-rich island of Pemba. Pemba is an engagingly conservative Indian Ocean territory 60 km east of Tanga, itself a quaint German colonial city, embodying the lost soul of a long-abandoned Tanganyika mainland.
