Although protected as a game reserve since the 1960s, in 2002 Saadani National Park was expanded to cover twice its former area. The reserve suffered greatly from poaching prior to the late 1990s, but in 2005, it was officially designated a National Park. A concerted effort to stop poachers and collaboration with nearby villages has resulted in a rich renewal of both the landscape and its inhabitants. With the added advantages of the nearby river and spectacular views of the Indian Ocean, game drives here have become as rewarding as in Tanzania’s other great national parks.
Saadani is the only spot where you can enjoy both game drives and a relaxing beach vacation. As it's often overlooked, there are no large crowds, providing for a far more personalized, private stay. Saadani gives very different beach experience from what you might encounter on Zanzibar, offering a great alternative for people who don’t want that feeling of safari to end but still want to spend time relaxing on the beach.
