Very few tourists travel to the North of Mozambique – it is off the main trails. But if you want to visit the remote Querimba Archipelago – this is the gateway…
From Ilha Moz take a 5 am chapa to Namialo (hefty 60000) – then you will catch there a regular bus /110 000 for ticket/ to Pemba. It is provincial town – the moost interesting part – traditional fishing village of Patiquette lies on the little peninsula. There is nice beach at suburb Wimbie – but I do not recommend to stay there at the Russels Place – it is overpriced and rather meeting point for the local expats at the bar – just another come-and-drink. In the centre of the town you will find Residencial Lyn – with rooms from 250 000.
