Pemba: Tumbe Village, Spice Farm, and Kojani Island Tour

Discover the rich history of Tumbe Village, explore spice farms, and visit Kojani Island on this guided tour. Learn about traditional dhow building and the island’s fishing culture.
Begin in Tumbe village, where the historic Msikiti Chooko (“Stone Mosque”) stands as one of Pemba’s oldest Islamic landmarks. Built from coral stone and lime mortar, the mosque reflects classic Swahili-Islamic architecture, with a simple yet sacred design. Local elders often share oral histories about the mosque’s role in early Islamic education, community gatherings, and spiritual life—making this a meaningful stop for those interested in cultural preservation and religious heritage.

Just steps from the mosque, Tumbe’s fertile lands host thriving spice farms that produce cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and lemongrass. Walk through aromatic groves guided by local farmers, learning traditional cultivation methods and sampling fresh spices. Tumbe plays a key role in Pemba’s spice economy, which contributes over 80% of Tanzania’s clove exports. Visit an essential oil distillery, offering a hands-on look at how spices are transformed into oils used in cooking and healing.

Conclude your journey with a boat ride to Kojani Island, located off Pemba’s eastern coast. This vibrant offshore community is renowned for its skilled dhow builders—artisans who craft traditional wooden boats using techniques passed down through generations. Explore local shipyards, interact with craftsmen, and learn how Kojani’s seafaring legacy continues to shape livelihoods and identity. The island’s fishing culture and oral storytelling make it a rich site for authentic exchange.
