What makes Saadani different from other Tanzanian parks?

The prime season is from June to November, when southern Saadani is the only national park in East Africa that borders the Indian Ocean. It allows travelers to experience both big game safaris and beach relaxation in one trip — something you won’t find in the Serengeti or Ngorongoro.whales are most commonly seen.

What kind of wildlife can I expect to see here?

Elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, and antelope are commonly seen on game drives. The Wami River adds another dimension with hippos, crocodiles, and an incredible array of birdlife. Offshore, dolphins can often be spotted, making Saadani unique in its diversity.

Is Saadani suitable for families?

Yes. The combination of gentle beach days and exciting but shorter game drives makes Saadani ideal for families with children. Lodges here are family-friendly, and activities can be tailored for younger guests.

How does Saadani connect with other destinations in Tanzania?

Saadani is conveniently located for travelers coming from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. Many visitors combine a few nights here with a longer safari in Selous/Nyerere or Ruaha, followed by beach time on Zanzibar. Alma Africa can customize this for you.
