Pemba Island

Pemba Island is the archipelago of Zanzibar's northernmost island. It remains largely ‘undiscovered’ by travellers, and this is part of the island’s appeal. Pemba is often overshadowed by its larger neighbour, Unguja, even though Pemba is hillier and more verdant. Many desert islands surround Pemba, as well as some of the best scuba diving in the Indian Ocean, with unrivaled clarity. The underwater paradise is home to coral gardens, colorful sponges, and sea fans. The city of Chake Chake, Pemba's primary population center, is a famous scuba diving destination.

Pemba is less visited than Zanzibar, as a result, the mood is more relaxed. The island is rugged, with deep valleys, and mountain bikers flock to the 1,000-meter peaks. Misali Island Beach, located just offshore, is a must-see. This stunning white-sand beach is located on an uninhabited tropical island that is uninhabited. Pemba is a major clove grower around the globe, as well as a center for juju medicine and magic. People travel from all over East Africa to study about voodoo and traditional healing or to seek a cure.
