Saadani National Park

Sadaani is one of Tanzania’s newest national parks and, though relatively small compared to others in the country; it has an enticing location on the shores of the Indian Ocean. It’s quite likely that visitors to the reserve will be treated to sightings of elephants and other wild animals roaming on its beaches, which are among the few remaining green turtle breeding sites on Tanzania’s mainland. Also encompassed by the park is the Wami River, flanked by mangroves and home to hippos, crocodiles, and a high concentration of riverine birds. Sadaani also features in famed explorer, Richard Burton’s research writing and visitors look forward to historic attractions such as Old Boma Hotel, the Saadani village graveyard, and the ruins of ancient settlements in Mkwaja Village.
