Saadani National Park
Saadani holds a unique distinction in East Africa: it's the only national park where the savannah runs straight down to the Indian Ocean, letting visitors combine a game drive and a beach afternoon on the same day.
Elephant, giraffe, buffalo and lion roam a landscape of coastal grassland and thicket, occasionally visible from the beach itself, while the Wami River offers boat safaris to spot hippo and crocodile.
Wildlife & Highlights
Green turtles nest on Saadani's beaches seasonally, adding another rare wildlife encounter to a park that blends safari and coast more completely than anywhere else in the country.
Best Time To Visit
June to October, the dry season, for the best combined game viewing and beach weather.
