A single platform for finding, verifying, and affording your next home

It’s 2026. You shouldn’t have to pay hela ya kiatu just to see a door that doesn’t lock. Join 12,400+ tenants using Tanzania’s first Housing Operating System to find verified homes, bypass dalalis, and build their rent funds kidogo kidogo

I investigated the Dar es Salaam rental market. Here is the scam

Let’s be honest. Looking for a house in Dar is a nightmare. You wake up early. You call a “broker” who promises you a palace in Sinza. You pay him TZS 20,000 just to see it.

And what do you find? A room with no windows. A landlord demanding 12 months’ rent upfront in cash. And a Dalali who shrugs and asks for transport money.

This isn’t just annoying. It’s a broken system designed to drain your wallet before you even sign a lease.

But there is a Secret Backdoor. We built a system that bypasses the chaos entirely.

Verified Listings + Geofenced Viewings + Rent Savings + Digital Leases

Access "Shadow Inventory" before it hits the open market (beat the Dalali).
Unlock homes instantly with your phone—zero viewing fees required.
Build your rent fund monthly with Pango Wekeza (NMB Integrated).
Sign digital leases that protect you from scams and eviction threats.
Automate payments to build a "Trust Score" landlords actually respect.

We didn’t build an App. We built an infrastructure.

Most apps are just bulletin boards for fake listings. Pango is different.

No more viewing fees

If a house is on Pango, it’s real. Our Pango Scouts have physically visited, verified the LUKU meter, checked the water pressure, and confirmed the owner. You browse for free. You view for free. Zero Dalali drama.

Pango kibubu

Can’t pay TZS 3 Million today? No problem. Open a Pango Kibubu account (powered by NMB Bank). Save TZS 300k every month. When you hit your target, we pay the landlord instantly.

The gap loan

Short on cash? If you’ve been saving consistently with us, we’ll lend you the remaining 20-30% to close the deal so you don’t lose that perfect house in Kijitonyama.

How to move in fasta (without the stress)

Set your target

Tell us where you want to live and how much rent you can afford. (e.g., “2 Bedroom in Mikocheni, TZS 500k/month”).

Fill your kibubu

Deposit money monthly via M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, or NMB. Earn interest while you save. Your money is locked and safe—Dalalis can’t touch it.

Get verified & move

When you find the house, we transfer the bulk rent directly to the landlord. You get the keys. You get the Uhakika (Certainty).

Here's how Pango kills hela ya dalali

(It’s not fair. Ni uhakika.)

You’re not looking for an app. You’re looking for an unfair advantage. Pango is the Housing Operating System built to bypass the chaos, the scams, and the the old system dalalis charges you. We don’t just list homes. We verify them, finance them, and guarantee the transaction.

Find it. Verify it. Own it

No PhD required. Just thumbs. We built Pango to be as addictively easy as your favorite social media feed. The difference? Every swipe saves you TZS 20,000 in viewing fees. Result: Our users find and secure homes 3X FASTER than the dalali-dependent market.

See it before the dalali does

Your future home is already vacant. The Dalali just doesn’t know it yet. Pango is powered by the Hidden Vacancy Network (HVN)—a private army of fundis and outgoing tenants who report vacancies before the “Inapangishwa” sign goes up. Turn on notifications and get the listing 72 hours before it hits the street.

The 4-steps blueprint to your new home

(Hakuna Dalali. Hakuna kupotezeana muda. Ni mwendo wa matokeo)

Download and Get Verified

Grab Pango. Sign up in 30 seconds. Boom. You are now plugged into the HVN. Crucially: Upload your NIDA ID and link your Mobile Money. This unlocks your Pango Trust Score—the only thing landlords care about.

Filter the noise. Find the alpha

Tell Pango exactly what you want. We filter out the trash. Pro Tip: Look for the Pango Verified badge. This means a Pango Scout physically inspected the property, checked the LUKU meter, and confirmed the Title Deed. No more fake listings. Ever.

Secure the deal. Bypass the fees

Agents hate this one trick. Chat directly with the Pango-Managed Landlord. Negotiate terms. Ask the hard questions. Average user savings: 1.2 MILLION TZS in agent fees/year. Your Goal: Get the landlord to accept your Pango Kibubu savings plan.

Pay monthly. Move in with diginity

Stop paying 6 months upfront. Use your Pango Kibubu savings to pay the deposit. Sign the digital lease. Because Pango is the Master Tenant, you pay us monthly. The Landlord gets guaranteed income. You get financial freedom.

The story behind Pango 😋

Built by a tenant for tenants like you

Does it feel like the Tanzanian rental market is rigged against you? Does it feel like a "jungle" designed to drain your wallet, waste your time, and leave you desperate?

Well, I have some news for you.

It is.

You are not crazy. And you are certainly not alone.

My name is Lusabara. Today, people know me as the creator of Pango. But not too long ago, I was exactly where you are right now.

I remember the exact moment I snapped. I had been bounced from one dalali to another like a ping-pong ball.

I checked my M-Pesa balance and felt sick. I realized I had burned through over TZS 200,000 just to be shown broken-down houses that looked nothing like the photos.

Here is how their game works:

They have a habit of passing you around like currency.

You arrive at one broker, and he spins you in circles, dragging you to view houses that don’t meet a single one of your standards.

Then, when he is done wasting your time, he “connects” you to another broker in the next street. And that guy does the exact same thing.

It is an endless cycle of “trips to nowhere.

And guess what?

If by some miracle you actually find a house you like… the dalali demands a payment equal to one full month’s rent just for handing you the keys.

It felt like daylight robbery.

It was during one of these exhausting, humiliating days that I stopped and asked myself a simple question:

"Why is housing still stuck in the past while everything else is digital?"

Why the stress? Why mzunguko mrefu? Why the fear of being scammed?

That question sparked a revolution.

I realized we didn't just need a "listing site" with pretty pictures. We needed a Partner.

So, I got to work. I built Pango meticulously, brick by brick, fueled by my own personal frustration, to give Power back to you.

Pango isn’t just an app. It is the Operating System for Housing in Tanzania.

We are reshaping the game. We are empowering tenants to move with dignity.

So, if you are tired of the old, expensive, risky way of finding a place… if you are tired of being treated like an ATM machine by brokers…

Pango was built for you.

I’ve walked your path. I’ve burned the shoe leather. I get the struggle.

And now, we finally have the solution.

Karibu Pango.

Sincerely,

Lusabara Creator, Pango.

Stop paying Commissions. Start paying for power.

Whether you’re browsing the shadow inventory for free, unlocking direct landlord access, or automating your rent savings—you only pay for the infrastructure you actually use. No hidden costs. No longolongo.

Beat the market

Most “good” houses never hit Instagram. They are rented via word-of-mouth weeks before. We use a network of local Fundis and Shopkeepers to spot vacancies the moment a tenant gives notice.

Stop paying to look

It’s 2025. Paying TZS 20,000 just to see a door that doesn’t lock is a scam. On Pango, you browse, filter, and view homes for free. We only make money when you actually succeed in renting.

No more catfishing

Every listing is physically inspected by a Pango Scout. We check the water pressure, verify the LUKU meter, and confirm the landlord’s ID. If it’s on Pango, it’s real. If it’s not, it’s just a rumor.

The "ghost" viewing

No need to coordinate with 5 middlemen or wait for a “boss” who never shows up. Go to the property, and our Geofencing tech unlocks the viewing code via our trusted neighborhood partners. View on your schedule, not theirs.

Build your rent fund

The biggest barrier is the “Bulk Rent” (6-12 months upfront). Pango Wekeza (powered by NMB Bank) lets you save monthly into a secure, interest-bearing account. Turn a massive annual burden into a manageable monthly habit.

Unlock financial power

Every on-time rent payment builds your Pango Trust Score. Use it to prove your reliability to future landlords or unlock “Gap Financing” to cover your rent when you’re short on cash. Your rent history is finally working for you.
