The Perfect Blend of Beaches and Big Game

Discover Untouched Wildlife Along Tanzania’s Coastline

Saadani is a national park that is often overlooked. Its location is special because it is on the coast, because it is the only national park where you can combine an adventure safari with a relaxing stay at beautiful white beaches with many palm trees

Saadani National Park – Where Beach Meets Safari

At Africa Travel Bureau, we proudly present Saadani National Park, Tanzania’s only park where the Indian Ocean meets the African wilderness. Located along the coast between Dar es Salaam and Tanga, Saadani offers travelers a unique blend of beach relaxation and thrilling safari adventures. With its pristine shoreline and abundant wildlife, Saadani is the perfect choice for those seeking a safari with a coastal twist.

Unique Wildlife and Coastal Encounters

Saadani offers game drives where elephants, giraffes, and antelopes roam against the backdrop of the ocean. The park is also home to lions, buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles, providing a full safari experience without leaving the coast. With Africa Travel Bureau, your journey is designed to capture these extraordinary contrasts, where you can watch wildlife by day and relax by the sea at sunset.

Best Time to Visit Saadani National Park

Saadani is a year-round destination, but the dry season from June to October offers the best wildlife viewing, as animals gather near rivers and waterholes. The green season from November to May transforms the park into a lush paradise, perfect for bird-watching and scenic photography. Africa Travel Bureau helps you plan the ideal time to visit, ensuring your Saadani safari captures both its wildlife wonders and coastal charm.
