Saadani National Park

Start an amazing day with the sunrise along the Indian Ocean beach. After breakfast, you will depart for a full-day game drive in Saadani National Park. Saadani is the only park where the beach meets the bush. It is the only wildlife sanctuary in East Africa to boast of an Indian Ocean beachfront. It also has all the attributes that make Tanzania’s tropical coastline and island very popular with European sun-worshipers. Yet, it is also the one place where those idle hours of sunbathing might be interrupted by an elephant strolling past, or a lion coming to drink at the nearby waterhole! Enjoy leisure, sunbathing, dinner, sunset, and an overnight stay at Saadani National Park.

Traditional dhows sail slowly past, propelled by billowing white sails, whilst Swahili fishermen cast their nets below a brilliant red sunrise.
