Pangani is the Zanzibar of the
Tanzanian mainland. It lies 45 km south of Tanga. Although its history
goes back a long way it was developed by the Arabs as a settlement and
slave trading centre. Being much less known it is much more peaceful
than Zanzibar and the beaches around Pangani are virtually unspoilt.
There is a variety of accommodation available although our basic
programmes use the Argovia Lodge. By using public transport from Moshi
we are able to provide a good quality coast holiday with all facilities
such as diving, tours, fishing at a reasonable price. It is possible to
upgrade to a private vehicle and luxury accommodation.
City tours: Pangani town elders serve
as knowledgeable guides who can impart their vast knowledge of Pangani
history and culture going back to the 15th century as they take you
through the town. In 1810, the Arabs constructed the central boma
building, people were buried alive under the pillars during construction
as it was believed this would ensure strong foundations. Later the
German administration used the buidings as a colonial district office
and added a european style roof giving the building a unique appearance.
The intricate Arab carved doors and foundation (still strong!) remain
and the building is now used as the district commissioners office. The
city tour includes numerous historical monuments: the original slave
depots and slave market where arabs traded slaves to India and Arabia,
the Freedom Grounds, Islamic and German graves, ancient mosques and
traditional houses. In the streets carpet makers, woodcarvers, basket
weavers, painters and other artisans sell a wide variety of hand made
items.
