Njao Island (Kisiwa cha Njao, in Swahili) is a small island located in Gando ward of Wete District in Pemba North Region, Tanzania.[1] Together with the larger Fundo Island, which lies immediately to the south, it forms a natural barrier and breakwater for the harbour of the town of Wete, which lies seven kilometres to the southeast.[2]
