Saadani is the only national park in East Africa with ocean frontage and therefore the only place that can genuinely lay claim to offering beautiful beaches and safari in a single location.

The big question is whether either element is good enough ... the safari is improving as game increases, but cannot be compared with the major parks ... the beach is good, but does not have the cachet of an island and there is no diving.

Whilst Saadani is a nice alternative for expats living in Dar es Salaam, it remains a niche location for international visitors. We most commonly book it in high season when all the beach accommodation on the islands is full, in which case it makes a really decent and interesting alternative.
