Pemba

The ancient city of Pemba, with its African and Arabic influences is situated in the North of Mozambique. It has one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. This is the access point for the Quirimbas Archipelago which stretches for one hundred kilometers along the Mozambique coast. There are thirty two tropical islands stretching from Pemba. These islands are more remote and less frequented than the Bazaruto Archipelago. The islands contain some of the richest coral reefs in the world and provide habitat for an abundant array of marine life.
