Save to favouritesPrintMailSaadani Safari LodgeSaadani is East Africa's only park with sea frontage, so it's a unique opportunity to go game-watching and swimming the same day. And this lodge provides plenty of style in which to do it. Its 15 tented [r:TA003:cottages] are hidden amongst the screw palms on a tranquil beach overlooking the Indian Ocean. The main building, grass-roofed and perched on stilts, houses a bar and restaurant with gorgeous views of the golden sands. Nearby, there’s a quirky ‘boat bar’ where we happily whiled away an afternoon, plus 2 decked swimming pools and a hidden treehouse overlooking a waterhole - great for spotting reedbuck, baboon, giraffe, lion and buffalo. Aside from safari drives, you can swim to one of the off-shore sand islands, take a walking tour to the local village with a knowledgeable guide or enjoy a boat trip along the sinuous Wami river to watch pods of hippo and basking crocodiles. Hop on a plane and in 20 minutes you can be in Zanzibar or Dar. It's an easy add-on, perfect for gentle game viewing with a dose of beach - and without the long drives or the dusty crowds of inland circuits.
