About Saadani National Park
The prime attraction of Saadani National Park is its exceptional location. Situated between Dar es Salaam and Tanga, with a distance of 200 and 75 kilometers respectively, the park’s proximity to the mainland coast adds to its allure. The climate in this coastal region is hot and humid, creating a favorable environment for a diverse range of marine and terrestrial plants and animals. This unique mix, coupled with the cultural fascination of the area, makes Saadani National Park a truly remarkable destination.
Saadani National Park offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy. A boat safari through the delta of the Wami River and into the ocean allows for sightings of mangrove vegetation, water-loving birds, hippos, and Nile crocodiles. The Madete area is known for green turtle nesting, while Mafui sandbank Island offers opportunities for diving with colorful fish and green turtles, as well as a serene spot for relaxation and sunbathing. Walking safaris along natural pathways provide a closer connection to nature, and both daytime and nighttime game drives offer chances to spot a wide range of wildlife, including giraffes, buffalos, warthogs, waterbucks, and elephants. The park’s pristine beaches, regarded as the cleanest on the Bagamoyo and Tanga coastlines, offer a picturesque setting to witness breathtaking sunrises during your Saadani National Park Safari.
