Saadani National Park

A coastal safari where woodland, river and shoreline meet.
Saadani National Park
THE PLACE, AT YOUR PACE

A sense of place.

Saadani offers a change of setting from Tanzania’s inland parks. Wildlife drives can be combined with time near the coast and, where available, outings on the Wami River. Choose activities with your guide according to access, water conditions and the area where you are staying.

WHY COME HERE

What makes it different.

The contrast between bush and coast is its main appeal. It suits a slower stay with varied activities, rather than a promise of the same wildlife concentrations found in larger inland parks.

A safari with a coastal edge

Saadani brings a coastal atmosphere to a wildlife journey. Woodland, river and shoreline sit within the same wider setting, offering a different pace from an inland circuit. Activities depend on the conditions during your visit.

  • Indian Ocean shoreline
  • The Wami River
  • Hippos and crocodiles
  • Coastal and river birds
  • Woodland wildlife drives
  • River excursions where permitted
