On the mainland, the Saadani River Lodge is a new safari lodge opening on the banks of the Wami River in Saadani National Park on the coast of Tanzania later this month. Opening June 2011.,
Saadani River Lodge set on the glorious banks of the Wami River overlooking Saadani National park; this new, luxury retreat promises to deliver unsurpassed refinement with a touch of creative flair. Eighteen suites and one private villa have been cleverly hidden amongst the indigenous flora of the riverine forest and set into the canopy to allow spectacular views over the gently meandering River. This retreat has been carefully positioned in an area of strategic conservation importance, designed to protect the border of the National park as well as establish a greater protected surface area for many interesting and endemic species. The Lodge offers a plethora of activities including tag and release sport fishing, sails on a traditional dhow to sand banks for lazy days spent enjoying the azure waters or trips into the National park.
