A closer look
Get to know Pemba.
Green island landscapes, coastal villages and a quieter side of the Zanzibar archipelago.
Pemba is one of Zanzibar’s two main islands. Its green interior and island communities meet mangroves, sheltered waters and offshore marine landscapes, offering a different atmosphere from the busier parts of Unguja. Allow time to settle into the island rather than rushing between activities. Explore with local guides and choose marine outings with qualified operators, taking sea conditions, tides and your level of experience into account.
