Tumbatu Island (Kisiwa cha Tumbatu, in Swahili) is an island located in Fumba ward of Kaskazini A District in Unguja North Region, Tanzania. In Zanzibar Archipelago, Tumbatu is the third-largest island, after Pemba aand Unguja island. The Island is amanitered by three wards; Tumbatu Jongowe, Uvivini and Mtakuja.[1] As of right now, the island is home to two major settlements: the village of Jongowe in the southern end of the island and the town of Kichangani, also known as Gomani, on the northern end.[2]
Tumbatu is a little bit isolated from the rest of Zanzibar despite having a southern side that is only 2 km (1.2 miles) long and surrounded by a reef from Mkokotoni on the island. Tumbatu Island has two islets, Popo Island to the east and Mwana wa Mwana Island to the north.[3] The island has an average elevation of 12 m (39 ft).[4] The Island is the native home of a sub cultural group of the Hadimu known as the Tumbatu.[5]
