Where the Bush Meets the Beach
Saadani National Park, Tanzania’s only coastal wildlife sanctuary, spans over 1,100 km² along the Indian Ocean. Here, golden beaches blend seamlessly with savannah grasslands, mangroves, and riverine forests creating a unique setting where elephants wander near the shore and palm trees sway above resting lions.
Located midway between Dar es Salaam and Tanga, Saadani offers a rare opportunity to combine classic wildlife viewing with the beauty of the coast. It’s a place where you can listen to ocean waves and bird songs in the same breath a true fusion of land and sea.
