Pangani, the Beach Without the Crowds

Pangani, although it is not well known as a coastal destination, is a small and historic town with attractive sandy beaches, a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, and a wealth of decaying colonial buildings dating from the slave trade and the German occupation. It is also a good place for cultural visits.

All this makes it a great place to get away from it all and just relax. For those who like a beach without the crowds, this is a good alternative to Zanzibar.

  • Four nights on the quiet sands of Pangani
  • Optional snorkelling trip to Maziwe Island
  • Village walk and colonial heritage tour
  • Full day Dar es Salaam city and culture tour
