Tanga Region, Administrative region in northeastern Tanzania
The territory of Tanga spreads across 26,667 square kilometers, featuring the Usambara Mountains and a lengthy coastline along the Indian Ocean.
Persian traders established the port city of Tanga during the 14th century, which later became a German colonial administrative center in the 1880s.
The region contains multiple ethnic communities including the Bondei, Sambaa, Digo, and Segeju peoples, each maintaining their traditions and languages.
The Pangani River system supports agriculture throughout the region, where farmers cultivate sisal, cotton, maize, citrus fruits, and coconuts.
The Amboni Caves near Tanga city form East Africa's largest limestone cave system, extending underground for several kilometers.
