Why Ushongo Tanzania?: Tanzania is a great alternative to the Southern coast of Kenya and Zanzibar: no mass tourism (no package tours, no big beach hotels), our beach house is in front row with direct access, no beach prostitution, no hawkers or other nuisance.
Unlike many beaches in Zanzibar Ushongo bay is a swimmers paradise. You and your children can swim in the sea the whole year. There are no dangerously high waves and there is no pollution.
Ideally you could combine your beach holiday with a safari in North Tanzania. We can establish contact to reliable companies offering good value for money. We speak English! On parle Francais!

The house has a large terrace facing the ocean which offers shade throughout the whole day with seating for 16 persons. The house has 2 self-contained bedrooms, each one with a large bathroom. Each of the rooms has one 2x2 metre double bed plus a single bed. The two bedrooms are connecting to a living room and a kitchen separated by a bar. There is also a rear terrace, ideal for sundowners watching the sun set. The two kitchens are fully equipped with 2 fridges, one freezer, 2 gas stoves, plates and cooking utensils for serious cuisine for larger groups.
Our house is located 16 km south of Pangani town, on Tanzania’s northern mainland coast. The easiest way of getting to our house is by flight either from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar or Arusha . The next airfield Pangani machado is 20 minutes away from our house. There are daily flights by Coastal Aviation as well as by Safari Airlink and others on request.

Alternatively you can book a return flight and send our taxi driver for shopping.
