About Ushongo Beach Bandas

Nestled along the pristine coastline of Pangani, Tanzania, Ushongo Beach Bandas offers a truly authentic beachfront experience. Our traditional-style bandas sit among coconut palms, just steps from the warm Indian Ocean.

We believe in slow, meaningful travel. Here, there are no crowded resorts or package tours — just the sound of waves, the rustle of palm fronds, and the genuine warmth of Tanzanian hospitality.

Our bandas are designed with comfort and simplicity in mind. Each banda is hand-crafted using local materials, featuring thatched roofs, hand-carved furniture, and open-air verandas where you can watch the sunrise over the ocean.

We are committed to sustainable tourism that benefits our local community. Our staff are from the surrounding villages, our food is sourced from local farmers and fishermen, and we actively support conservation efforts along the Pangani coast.

Our Location

Ushongo Beach is located approximately 50km north of Tanga, in the Pangani District of Tanzania. The beach is known for its pristine white sand, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs just offshore. It remains relatively undiscovered, offering a peaceful escape from busier tourist destinations.

Getting Here

From Dar es Salaam: 5-hour drive north along the coastal road. From Tanga: approximately 45 minutes. We can arrange private transfers upon request.
