Pemba Island, known as "The Green Island", is the second biggest
island of the Zanzibar Archipelago.Most of the island, which is
hillier and more fertile than Unguja, is dominated by small scale
farming. There is also large scale farming of cash crops such as
cloves.Pemba is also famous for its rich fishing grounds and it is
becoming well known for its dive sites, with steep drop-offs,
untouched coral, unspoiled reefs and very abundant marine life.With
the booming tourism industry in neighboring Unguja (usually referred
only as Zanzibar), more adventurous travellers are seeking out the
less-crowded Pemba for peace, tradition and pristine uncontaminated
nature.
