Pangani — The unspoilt coast

Pangani is one of the Tanzanian coast's best-kept secrets — a historic town at the mouth of the Pangani River where Swahili, Arab and colonial histories layer over palm-lined beaches and quiet fishing villages. Far from the crowds, it offers turquoise water, coral reefs, river trips and genuine local life — an authentic, restful complement to the bush.
