Sharook Riviera Grand Lodge

Pemba

A long-time favourite for travellers in Wete, and now in an improved location, this place has simple rooms with mosquito nets. Mr Sharook the owner is friendly and can set you up with tours to Ngezi Forest Reserve and elsewhere on the island. Meals can be arranged, and there's a view of the bay from the rooftop restaurant.

A larger room is sometimes turned into a dorm, where a bed costs around US$20. To reach the Sharook, turn off the main street (Bomani Ave) at the market and bus station, and go down the hill.
