Overview
Saadani National Park is one of the most unique safari destinations in Africa—and the only national park in East Africa where wildlife roams along the Indian Ocean coastline. Located along Tanzania’s northern coast between Dar es Salaam and Tanga, the park offers a rare combination of classic safari experiences and tropical beach relaxation in one destination.
Covering approximately 1,100 km², Saadani blends savannah, riverine ecosystems, mangrove forests, and pristine beaches, creating a diverse environment that supports both terrestrial and marine life.
Unlike the busy northern parks, Saadani offers a quiet, off-the-beaten-path experience, perfect for travelers seeking something different and less crowded.
