Highlights
- The sea laps against the shoreline in front of every banda – the unmistakable sound of 'barefoot luxury'. Step back from the sea however, and the sounds of the bush come to the fore, making this a unique and exciting combination.
Saadani makes the perfect honeymoon destination - long walks down the deserted beach, swimming in the Indian Ocean or indulging the wild bush on private safaris, some with a wonderful twist.
- In the evenings, sip exotic cocktails and dine on fresh lobster, prawns, crab or a variety of fish under the stars before retiring to your luxury tented accommodation.
- A boat safari is one of the highlights of any visit to Saadani.
- The river is home to large crocodiles and many hippo which at low tide can be seen on the sand banks.
- Dolphins are sometimes seen offshore and whales pass through the Zanzibar channel on their migration. Of particular interest is the green turtle project at Madete Marine Reserve.
