Tanzania: Saadani National Park : Elephants Frolic In The Su

This park is only 100km north of Dar es Salaam. Saadani is where the bush meets the sea. This colorful clash of ecosystems is found nowhere else along the coast of East Africa. Imagine this is the place where the hippopotamus compete with coral reefs, lions roar at the surf and baboons race along the beach. Elephants have even been spotted enjoying the surf.

Your hotel room not only looks out over the African bush but it also has a sea view! This park has only recently been gazetted as a National Park and was once a coconut plantation. Game viewing is in open 4x4 vehicles, however, walking safaris are allowed in the Forrest and on returning from your walking safari to your hotel - take off your boots
