Overview

Perhaps the most romantic evocation on the planet, Zanzibar’s turquoise waters and white sand beaches offer the quintessential tropical paradise. Few know about its equally stunning neighbour, Saadani, a short hop by plane across the Zanzibar channel. Saadani’s wild, deserted beaches are home to baboons, breeding green turtles, and even the odd lion. Elephants gather in significant numbers in the thick vegetation of Elephant Island, before traversing the open salt flats into Saadani National Park. In combination, these two destinations offer a magnificent blend of bush and beach.

  • Day 1

  • Day 3

    After lunch, say goodbye to Simply Saadani camp and head out on an afternoon game drive ending at the amazing tower, central to Babs’ camp. The tower is a 20 metre high stone structure complete with two suites, a private bar & restaurant and its own fifth storey crows’ nest. This camp is set on the edge of a salt flat ecosystem, and is a favourite place for passing elephants. We have discovered over the years that many animals like to settle near to the tower at night as they feel safe. Dinner on the salt flats under the endless stars.

  • Day 5

    Today, you’ll be woken early just before dawn for a quick cup of tea or coffee before heading out for a foot safari and game drive before brunch.  Then it’s time to say goodbye to Babs’ Camp and Saadani and transfer through the park to the airstrip to connect with a flight to Zanzibar.  On arrival, transfer by road to Nungwi village in the north part of the island arriving at the lovely Zanzibari boutique hotel.
