Location & Facilities

Saadani National park is one of the last Coastal nature reserves in Africa and as such offers a unique experience.

The original concept of conservation & socio economic reform has persisted through the years and the local villagers are responsible for building, maintaining & renovating Saadani Safari Lodge. The enthusiasm for nature is second to none & what makes the Lodge even more interesting is the absence of coconut trees along the shore line which means the indigenous plants of the Savanna are conserved and ancient plant life thrives.
