Pemba Ngezi Regenwoud Tour

The Ngezi Peninsula is the northernmost point on Pemba. Much of the area is taken up by the Ngezi Forest, which is the last remains of a huge tract of indigenous forest which used to cover most of Pemba.Protected by a 1476-hectare reserve, the forest is a true double canopy, complete with vines providing swings for raucous vervet monkeys. Ngezi is home to the Pemba Flying Fox, a bat endemic to the island. The forest itself is a protected area. On the east side of the Ngezi peninsula is Vumawimbi Beach, an immaculate beach with miles of white sand flanked by a pristine forest. On the western side is found the 'Pango ya Watoro' or 'the cave of the fugitives. If you are intereted we can take some more time with
you visiting the "cultural areas " these are parts of the forest which are sacred and people periodically sweep and clean to appease their ancestors. These sacred places called "MIZIMU" are used for prayers, requests and offerings to the spirits of the dead. Local villagers recognize five such sites which are all located within Ngezi Rain Forest.
