Beautiful view of Pangani

Welcome to Pangani, Hosted by Kili Glacious Tours

Pangani, a historical coastal town in Tanzania, takes its name from the Pangani River that flows through its northern region from the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Located 50 kilometers south of Tanga, Pangani boasts a rich history dating back to the 15th century. This charming town served as a significant trading hub, dealing in ivory and slaves, and remnants of its storied past—including Arabic, German, and British colonial influences—can still be found in its architecture and historical sites.

Today, Pangani offers visitors serene beaches fringed with coconut trees and an authentic cultural experience untouched by mass tourism. A walking tour through the town reveals fascinating landmarks, including colonial buildings, Swahili architecture over 200 years old, the former slave labor camp and market site, Freedom Grounds, ancient mosques, and German and Islamic graves. Local artisans, such as street carpet makers, woodcarvers, basket weavers, and painters, add vibrant cultural richness to the town, offering handmade crafts and souvenirs.

For nature lovers, the Pangani River is a haven for birdwatching, while the sandy bay and Maziwe Island Marine Reserve provide breathtaking settings for snorkeling and relaxation. Pangani is a perfect destination for those seeking a tranquil getaway infused with history, culture, and natural beauty.
