## Pangani

Pangani is one of the oldest Swahili trading settlements on the Tanzanian coast, with a history stretching back centuries as a hub for the ivory and slave caravan routes from the interior.

Today it's a quiet, low-key alternative to the busier islands — a place of mangrove creeks, dhow-building traditions, and crumbling coral-stone ruins that hint at its trading-post past.

### Wildlife & Highlights

The surrounding coastline offers uncrowded beaches, snorkeling trips to nearby reefs, and boat excursions up the Pangani River into the mangroves.

### Best Time To Visit

June to October and December to February for the driest, sunniest coastal weather.
