Beach meets safari in Tanzania

Re-launching on June 1, the Sanctuary Saadani Safari Lodge is tucked inside the Saadani National Park, which shares its eastern border with the Indian Ocean, in one of the last remaining protected coastal areas in Africa. Five Maridadi Suites have four-poster beds, and spacious bathrooms with monsoon showers inside and outside set within a walled terrace.

Three swimming pools, spa treatments and a thatched beach restaurant serving local and international dishes including seafood complete the luxury coastal safari experience.

Activities range from game drives in the National Park with the chance of spotting wildebeest, elephants, zebras and giraffes to snorkelling, turtle-watching, sand bank picnics and dolphin-spotting.
