Pemba
Pemba - Africa''s Indian Ocean Islands The Complete Guide.
Pemba is located approximately 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Unguja, and is also part of the Zanzibar Archipelago. It is greener, hillier and more fertile than its southerly cousin, and sees far fewer visitors. Pemba’s untouched coves and mangrove lagoons make it a good choice for wildlife enthusiasts hoping to get off the beaten track, while the plunging drop-offs of the Pemba Channel make this island a top destination for experienced scuba divers. Expect large shoals of pelagic fish in addition to bucket list species ranging from Napoleon wrasse to giant green sea turtles. Great clove plantations add a fragrance to the air and establish Pemba’s reputation as one of the Tanzanian spice islands. .
