Pangani Area
Pangani is situated on the southeast coast of the Tanga region.
The main attraction of Pangani is the pristine coastline to the
north and south of Pangani town. There are also several attractions
in and around Pangani that can be visited during day trips. Although
many of Pangani's visitors are ex-patriates and wealthy Tanzanians,
there are several beautiful hotels around Pangani town just waiting
for tourism to pick up. For now, Pangani is the perfect beach
destination for travelers seeking to escape the crowded resorts and
aggressive street vendors in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
Pangani River: Pangani River, once an important transport channel
for slaves and ivory, is now seldom used as a means of
transportation from Tanzania's interior to the coast. Boat trips can
be arranged up the river to observe the abundant birdlife and
riverine ecosystem. Crocodiles and hippos are sometimes seen along
the river and a trip up the river offers an opportunity to view
Tanzanian village life.
