A former game reserve gazetted only in 2005, Saadani is Tanzania’s newest national park and the only one in East Africa with ocean frontage, offering a unique mix of big game, rivers and beaches.
Land animals include hippos, wildebeest, zebra, eland, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, lion and the rare Roosevelt’s sable antelope whilst marine-side, dolphins frolic and humpback whales migrate just offshore in the Zanzibar Channel. Green turtles nest on the beach and there is also good snorkelling to be enjoyed in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
