Simply Saadani is a delightful lodge situated just outside the Saadani National Park, the only coastal wildlife reserve in Tanzania and the closest to Dar-es-Salaam. The lodge has a stunning location on a beautiful Indian Ocean beach.
The lodge has 10 luxury individually designed tents with large thatched roofs overlooking the warm Indian Ocean and a pristine stretch of white sand beach, and it is easy to forget that you’re actually on safari. The luxury accommodation offers spacious colour themed rooms with full en-suite facilities and verandas with hammocks and chairs, perfect for relaxing. There are several family suites available.
Local materials have been used where possible and this is particularly reflected in the spacious lounge/bar/restaurant on a raised wooden platform, which overlooks the Indian Ocean and includes a ‘star gazing’ deck with huge floor cushions and stools – a great way to end a perfect day. [cont.]
The food here is excellent, and freshly caught seafood is a speciality of Simply Saadani Lodge.
Full and half day game drives in Saadani National Park are available in open sided safari vehicles, and boat safaris are offered in the wet season. There are also a number of short bird watching walks around the area of the camp, which can be undertaken on your own or with a guide.
Simply heaven on earth. It isn't possible to stress too highly how the combination of what is really an excellent game viewing Park, and an idyllic Indian Ocean beach, makes for the perfect African holiday experience.
The honeymoon suite with its large secluded and candlelit sunken bath, situated just off the en-suite shower room, and overlooking the mangrove swamp. The perfect romantic retreat for honeymooners.
The location is perfect, a driftwood strewn beach, private "tents" with beach access for all. The food, service, location and people in Saadani were the very best. We genuienly couldn't have asked for better.
Simply Saadani truly is a hidden gem! Wonderful location allowing access to both secluded sands and great game viewing - in the same National Park. Bandas spotlessly clean and well equipped, with terrific positioning right on the Indian Ocean. Staff friendly and courteous at all times, food tasty and well presented.... don't hesitate - just go!!
