Take a historical city tour and discover on foot the historical buildings in Pangani, the former slave market, the old port and slave routes.
Once a center of Swahili trade with the African mainland, Pangani is now a forgotten and sleepy place with few memories of days of splendor. The old German administration building still stands behind a colonnade of tall shade trees. The former prison, painted in a fading ochre red, overlooks the lazy waters of the river. Old houses along the main road provide inhabited examples of colonial and traditional Swahili architecture.
Unfortunately, the buildings are slowly crumbling in the monsoon winds. But even a short walk will reward you with a glimpse of the quiet life in an old trading town along the Swahili coast.
