Safari to Bagamoyo and Saadani National Park

Formerly, a Game Reserve, Saadani has recently undergone the transition to National Park status. It has the unique distinction of being East Africa's only coastal wildlife sanctuary, providing the opportunity to observe Africa's big game and bird life interacting with the sea. It is the one place where elephants can be seen bathing in the Indian ocean. The park is located only 130 kms north of Dar es salaam, 54 kms. North of the historical town of Bagamoyo and just 38 kms. from Zanzibar.

The park has a wide range of habitats including mangrove swamps, coastal thickets and acacia woodland, and a diverse population of mammals and birds. Of the big five, lion, leopard, elephant and buffaloes are present. The southern boundary is marked by the Wami River which attracts fabulous bird life, large pod of hippos, massive crocodiles and the spectacular black and white colobus monkey.
