Overview

Discover Pangani: A Historic Gem in Northeast Tanzania

Located 45 km south of Tanga, Pangani is a historic town along the shoreline of the Pangani River. Established before the 6th century, it is one of Tanzania’s oldest towns, rich in cultural heritage. Today, it is primarily a fishing town, offering serene beaches perfect for a peaceful getaway.

The Pangani Waterfall serves as a vital power source, supplying electricity to Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Moshi. Meanwhile, the Pangani River is home to an abundance of birds and crocodiles, adding to the area’s diverse wildlife.

For adventure seekers, Maziwi Island, just off the coast, offers excellent snorkeling and dolphin-watching opportunities.

Walking through Pangani feels like stepping back in time, with centuries-old architecture lining its streets. Some of the town’s buildings date back over 200 years, reflecting its rich history and enduring charm
