If you dream of combining a beach vacation with a typical East African safari, consider the spectacular Saadani National Park. It is the only national park in East Africa that boasts an Indian Ocean beachfront. Here, you can spot lions treading on the beach, or elephants splashing in the ocean.

Saadani offers the stuff safari dreams are made of: driving through the jungle to spot leopards in the morning, and sipping a cocktail on the beach that same evening. With a Petit Maasai Safari in Saadani National Park, you can experience both safari game drives and boat rides to experience wildlife.

While located in a more secluded area of Tanzania, the opportunities to spot wildlife in Saadani make it worth the drive. Saadani’s beaches are known as the nesting grounds of the lovely Green Sea Turtles.
Timing is everything with hatchings, but connect with us to learn when the next group of new turtles are likely to hatch for a once-in-a-lifetime experience on the beaches of Tanzania.

Other wildlife you might witness include: giraffes, lions, leopards, hippos, buffaloes, the endemic red duiker, herds of zebras and too many monkeys to count.

Saadani National Park might not be Tanzania’s most famous park, but it offers unique experiences from sea turtles to beachfront safari drives for those who want to blend a beach holiday with an exciting wildlife safari.
