The
Swahili Coast
 
 

Probably one of the most romantic
coastlines in the world, the Indian Ocean
shores of East Africa offer a wonderful
mix of beautiful beaches, wildlife,
cultural melting pots and some of
the best diving in the world. 

   

saadani beachSaadani is a great place to begin any holiday with its blissful mix of deserted wild beaches and large game. Unwind on your beachfront hammock, take a gentle canoe ride, or walk along the trails behind the lodge. Alternatively, revitalised, jump in the Land Rover and explore the park on a full day out which includes an amazing boat safari on the Wami River.

zanzibarAfter the peace of the wilderness in Saadani, it’s time to immerse yourself in the vibrant bustle of Zanzibar Stone Town. The maze of narrow winding streets is a treasure trove of both grand and crumbling architecture, inspired by Arab, Indian and European influences.

From the harbour to the market place, the town is alive with trade in everything from the sweet smelling cloves to giant tuna and kingfish. lion safari africa
