Saadani National Park

Where bush meets beach, Saadani National Park is Tanzania’s only coastal national park — safari by day, sea breeze by night. The Indian Ocean laps at the park’s edge and elephants roam salt-laced shorelines alongside herons and hippos. Mangrove lagoons, warm seas, savannah and shoreline merge into a unique habitat that offers both water-based and land-based adventure. You might track lions one moment, snorkel the next. Sunsets over the ocean reflect off hippo-wallowing rivers, and rustic lodges invite you to unplug, listen and breathe the wild air of Tanzania. This is safari re-imagined: salt wind, sand underfoot, and the wild in perfect balance.
