Game drives in the morning, the Indian Ocean in the afternoon, in the only park in East Africa that meets the sea.
Saadani is where the bush meets the beach. In the morning you drive among giraffe and elephant or take a boat on the Wami River; in the afternoon you swim in the Indian Ocean.
It is the easiest safari from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar and makes a lovely short trip for families.
