7-Day Dar es Salaam & Pangani Beach – Africa Wandering Peak Safaris

Beach · Coastal Circuit

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.
