[Untitled]

Welcome to the IST-TRAVEL Wiki! This site is being created as a Community and Service Activity at the International School of Tanganyika, located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We hope that it will be a useful tool for the IST community at large - students, teachers and parents - as you discover the wonders of travel in Tanzania and neighboring countries! Please feel free to add to the site when you find great new places to stay (or places you would not recommend), places to visit and routes to take. Karibu sana!


Disclaimer: This is a student-created wiki created for the informal usage of the IST faculty and parent community. IST takes no responsibility for the content therein.

Some words of advice from different teachers at IST:

1. Do NOT anger an elephant.

2. Remember, when you are in the jungle you are in the animal's territory. You must respect that.

3. Take an extra battery for your camera. You never know when you might need it.

4. Do NOT litter in the wild unless you like paying fines and spending time in prison.

5. Do NOT feed the monkeys or keep food in your tent/room.

6. Lastly, respect park rules as they are for your own safety and the safety of other animals and people.

If you love diving (PADI certified), snorkeling, swimming w/ dolphins, relaxing, kayaking, bon-fires, drumming, archery, and laying in a hammock - then this spot is for you.
You fly in or drive if you are that adventurous, to this northern small town in Mozambique and enjoy. Most everything is provided and Calvin is a terrific dive instructor/master.

Pemba Dive and Bush Camp: http://www.pembadivecamp.com

This family owned camp has reasonable prices - diving is $45.00 each dive, $200 for a package of 5 dives; the corals are healthy and fairly full of colorful fish
They have different levels of accomodation including backpackers bamboo huts (this is where I stayed for 9 nights), bungalows, safari tents,
family size bungalows ...
Meals and drinks are good and reasonably priced - you need to communicate with them about your needs, they are VERY accomodating - or
you can use the backpackers kitchen to do some of your own cooking. The dinners are always family-style w/ plenty of variety - grilling meats is one of their specialties!

It is 3 km down from the main road from the airport; they will drop you at the airport, in front of local transport, any time of day so you can explore around town and shop for supplies. If you are diving you are taken to the seaside each day and can remain for an afternoon of exploration too.

Recommendations: Bring your own snacks, coffee set-up, and BUG SPRAY - you'll need it!!


This is family owned and run and they try hard to make you feel comfortable and enjoy your time there. They DON'T charge for every little convenience and
offer all the extra activities free of charge - great location for a family stay.
Do you find this valuable?
