While Zanzibar is known for being level and sand-flung, adjoining Pemba Island is the land of cloves and mangoes and hillocks rich with leafy food trees. Traditional dhows lie dispersed across the vast majority of the coastline and fishing is a huge piece of Pemba’s way of life.
In the same way as other of the islands in the archipelago, the Culture of the Pemba’s has been impacted by Middle Easterner dealers from Oman and the first occupants who have lived on the island for quite a long time. Very much preserved vestiges can be found on Pemba, for example, Qanbalu (a Muslim settlement from as right on time as the eighth century), while leftovers of old voodoo ceremonies are drilled by the traditional witchdoctors who call the island home.
Ultimately, Pemba has for quite some time been known as the ‘Green Island’ because of its richly blessed soil that yields farm produces like coconut, bananas, and cassava. The island is encircled with warm, sub-tropical waters eminent for the absolute best diving as well as snorkeling in the entire archipelago as a result of its lofty drop-offs, undisturbed marine life, and vivid coral reefs. Pemba Island delivers a genuine island experience with a tourism industry not as evolved as Zanzibar’s, ideal for those needing to catch the undiscovered idea of the archipelago.
