Zanzibar, Mafia and Pemba -> Pemba Island -> North Pemba

North Pemba

Pemba is the second largest island in the Zanzibar archipelago and lies northeast of Unguja Island. A visit to Pemba is a great way to incorporate a truly authentic remote and beautiful island experience into your Tanzania Safari. It currently has few visitors, allowing those who do get there a chance to escape the regular trappings of mainland Zanzibar. On Pemba traditional island life has been able to continue with little disruption, and you can stay, relax and learn about the traditional way of life while enjoying the beautiful surroundings and luxurious accommodation.

The landscape on Pemba is quite hilly with dense natural forests and plantations. A popular excursion takes in the Ngezi Forest Reserve, where keen birders can look for several species endemic to the island. However the main attraction of Pemba is the fantastic scuba diving, snorkelling and deep sea fishing on offer.
