This delectable beach side retreat is in the recently gazetted Saadani National Park. The park itself is unique to the rest of east Africa combining a variety of ecosystems including bush, beach and river. At Saadani you can be on a game drive in the morning, followed by a beachside lunch and an afternoon boat safari on the Wami River,

Each of the 9 cottages at the lodge are sympathetically spaced along the beach offering great views (especially at sunrise) and privacy. The rooms are all en-suite and have private verandas. There is an open thatched restaurant also directly on sand with a raised sundowner deck above it. Nearby is a swimming pool and a tree house overlooking a small water hole where a variety of antelope can be seen.

The lodge owner, Costas a Greek-Burundian renovated a dilapidated lodge and taking in to consideration the local environment created this superb eco-friendly lodge. The atmosphere at the lodge is unpretentious and comfortable. The staff are extremely helpful and the seafood meals are some of the best in Tanzania.
