2 day Safari from Zanzibar to Saadani

Great Wildlife of Tanzania - Two day Safari from Zanzibar

Have you already booked your Zanzibar beach holiday?  Is your main love the beach but you don’t want to travel all the way to Tanzania and not do a few days safari?  Then why not add a few days on safari in Saadani National Park, just a 20-minute flight across the Zanzibar channel to mainland Tanzania and the Swahili coast.  This super diverse park at just 1100 square kilometres is home to giraffe, zebra, lion prides, leopard, buffalo and large elephant herds. Whilst there are not the big numbers of game, there is a great range of wildlife and what Saadani also offers is a chance to do a boat safari on the Wami river amongst large hippo pods and crocs, something the more famous parks of the north like Serengeti don’t offer.

There is also the Madete marine park which protects green turtles along this coastline and forms part of the national park protected by TANAPA (Tanzania National Parks Authority). This is a whistle-stop tour of 2 days 1 night safari to give you a flavour of what Tanzania’s national parks can offer.
