Luggage and bags: Soft, waterproof bags are best as you will be travelling in boats, helicopters and light aircraft if you want to see the more remote areas. Also don't pack too heavy.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Beach and snorkelling gear for the islands, good walking shoes for inland.
Keep flip flops handy for boat transfers - you will get wet and it can be sharp underfoot getting to and from the boat!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: If you are going to the remote islands or lodges do not rely on them to have medical supplies. They will have some but it is best to take antibiotics and antihistamines plus anything you may need, because if you need them and can't get them it is an expensive helicopter flight to Pemba to get them!
Photo Equipment: Underwater camera if you snorkel. Definitely protective plasic bags for cameras for boat trips!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: All beach gear is useful plus walking shoes. In the rainy season a waterproof is a good idea.
