Hi! everybody there. When we talk about Tanzania Tourism, it is generally the famous Mt. Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti or the spice Island of Zanzibar that comes into our minds, This is because perhaps other tourist destinations such as Tanga have. remained unpretentious and have hardly been exposed to outside world.
For tourists and travelers the Region of Tanga is yet another site in Tanzania which is adorned by splendid environment, eye - catching landscape, unique culture and obliged people. Sun drenched beaches, skirting the fabled Indian Ocean, rising mountain of the great Usambaras, whispering rivers and lush green vegetation add to the beauty of the Region that has hardly appeared on the tourists map of Tanzania.
Tanga Region has a rich history which unfolds real and interesting stories of explorers like Vasco da Gama, Arab and Indian, settlements trading activities, the slave trade, the advent of the Germans Colonists and finally the British rule.
Tanga has four major centres marked for tourism activities. The Tanga city is the capital of the Region. It is situated on the shores of the great Indian Ocean from where all activities radiate towards other parts of the region. The city is rich in history, natural attractions, period architecture and interesting aquatic activities. South of Tanga City lies a prominent trading centre of the 19th century Pangani. Pangani has some of the most spectacular beaches unpolluted in the country and is an excellent beach holiday destination. To the further south is the little known Saadani Game Reserve now Saadani National Park with Beach and wild animals.
Its a magnificent place to visit. Nice place for volunteers and budget tourist.
