The story of this place

Saadani National Park offers an unusual combination of coastal scenery and wildlife. Located along the Indian Ocean, it brings together coastal forest, mangroves, river systems, savannah and beaches within one protected landscape. Visitors may encounter elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, waterbuck, warthogs and a variety of birdlife, while the Wami River and coastal habitats provide opportunities to appreciate a different side of Tanzania’s wilderness. Saadani is particularly appealing to travellers who want to combine a safari experience with time beside the ocean. Its setting creates a distinctive contrast between the bush, the river and the beach.
