Saadani Safari Lodge exclusively set in the Heart of Saadani National Park. Saadani is unique for its extraordinary diversity of scenery and wildlife. Beach, bush and river have been thrown together in such a colourful clash of ecosystems that there is nothing to compare with it anywhere on the Eastern Coast of Africa.
Accommodation
Saadani Safari Lodge is small and intimate, with just nine individual tented cottages set along the beach, cooled by soft ocean breezes and shaded by casherina trees. Cottages are twin or double with swathes of sail cloth adorning the ceilings, large romantic Zanzibar style nets and locally carved furniture.
The en-suite bathrooms are creatively decorated with sand floors and shell mosaics. Hot water is solar powered and plentiful.
Facilities
- The lofty main building, grass-roofed and made from local wood, rests on stilts amongst a stand of dramatic screw palms overlooking the sea. Meals are served on the lower deck, with menus focusing largely on feasts of fresh prawns and other seafood, which are a speciality of the area and bought to Saadani's kitchens daily.
- Higher up, towards the expansive rafters, a sitting room and sundowner deck gives panoramic views of the ocean on one side and the bush on the other, and is a lovely place for drinks before dinner.
