Ideal for those who want a relaxed and un-touristy climate, in the pleasure of the wonderful white beaches that the Indian Ocean gives us. Pangani is located on the Tanzanian coast, right in front of the Zanzibar archipelago.
You can intersperse relaxation with three beautiful trips:
• Boat trip on the placid delta of the Pangani river, whose banks are covered with mangroves and palm trees
• Boat trip to the Maziwe marine reserve, a coral atoll off the coast, which the tide reveals only when the waters retreat
• the safari in Saadani park, a park near the sea where you can admire elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos and crocodiles and many species of birds.
The Tide Lodge
Refined lodge with impeccable taste located in Ushongo bay, south of Pangani. The Tides also has a splendid villa for a group of 12 people.

Capricorn Beach Cottage
It is located on the beaches north of Pangani, surrounded by greenery and embellished with some baobabs.
