Pemba Island
Pemba Island is located around 80 Km. from Zanzibar (Unguja) Island, in
front of Tanga on continental Tanzania. Pemba is smaller than Unguja,
but is hillier and has lush vegetation, as well called "The Evergreen
Island".
This island is famous by its spectacular
tides, for its rich variety of sea life that surrounds the paradise
turquoise waters giving us an unforgettable picture.
Pemba is covered of hills full of palm trees, cloves, rice fields and
lush natural forests as the Ngezi Forrest in the north.
There are several beautiful virgin beaches over the coast, and the
northern coast of the island is one of the most beautiful places of the
world for scuba divers.
Until today holds little
tourism, as most of the beaches are hardly reachable, and the lack of
infrastructure makes this island a virgin and wild environment.
