Tanzania Mainland Beaches Holidays

Discover Pristine

Coastlines & Relaxed Coastal Encounters

Venture beyond Zanzibar to discover the captivating coastal regions of mainland Tanzania. Here, you’ll find palm-fringed beaches, tranquil fishing villages, bustling historical towns, and an enticing blend of relaxation and coastal exploration.

Tanzania’s mainland coastline stretches for hundreds of miles along the Indian Ocean, offering stunning beaches and a unique, relaxed vibe with significant historical appeal. Often overshadowed by Zanzibar, the mainland’s beaches cater to diverse preferences. The north coast is renowned for its idyllic beaches and historical intrigue, featuring areas like Pangani, a charming town with a rich history, beautiful beach, and opportunities for diving, snorkelling, and boat tours on the Pangani River. Saadani National Park is a unique destination where you can combine a morning wildlife safari with an afternoon swim in the ocean, boasting a beachfront lined with palm trees and golden sand. Bagamoyo, a historical town with a long beach, was a major centre of the slave trade and offers stone ruins, a captivating museum, and a laid-back atmosphere.

The southern coast provides a more remote and adventurous feel with its long stretches of undeveloped coastline. The Rufiji Delta is a vast maze of waterways and mangroves, offering boat tours, fishing expeditions, and wildlife spotting opportunities, including crocodiles and hippos. Kilwa Masoko, a historical town with fascinating ruins from the Kilwa Sultanate, features a long, beautiful beach with palm trees and white sand. Mtwara is a port town with a relaxed atmosphere and a nearby beach, offering swimming, diving, and boat tours.
