Tanzania's only seaside national park, with river safaris, then two nights in Zanzibar.
Saadani is the only national park in Tanzania that meets the Indian Ocean. Giraffes and elephants roam the bush just behind the beach, and the Wami River is full of hippos and crocodiles.
It's a small, uncrowded park, perfect for a relaxed safari that ends with the sound of waves. We finish with two nights on Zanzibar to complete your bush-and-beach holiday.
Best time to goJune to February.
Great forTravellers who want a quiet safari plus beach, and repeat visitors.
