Saadani National Park’s coastal location is ideal if you’re looking for both bush and beach in one destination. It is the only bush-meets-beach wildlife sanctuary in East Africa making it wonderfully unique and worth a visit if your route permits.
The park is home to about 30 species of large mammals including elephant, lion & buffalo. In fact, one unexpected discovery over the years are the huge herds of elephant that move together. The park might have lower numbers in total with fewer herds but greater numbers per herd making an elephant sighting here spectacular.
