A Tent with a View Lodge, Tanzania

Contact a specialist about A Tent with a View Lodge, Tanzania

Located on a beautiful Indian Ocean beach surrounded by the stunning bush of Saadani National Park, A Tent with a View offers a peaceful retreat from which to explore Tanzania's only coastal wildlife reserve. The lodge consists of only ten luxury tents, eight of which are elegantly perched on stilts and two at beach level. All are private and well spaced along a pristine stretch of Indian Ocean beach. Emphasis is on relaxation and appreciation of the natural environment. Saadani is in the unique position of providing the opportunity to observe Africa's big game and bird life interacting with the sea. Foot safaris combining the bush and the beach, birdwatching by canoe on the Mafue salt water creek and game drives are all available from the lodge, whilst a boat safari on the Wami River can be organised as part of a full day game drive.

  • 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
    • .
