Having time to sit and absorb the surroundings are equally important at Saadani Safari Lodge as launching out on daily adventures to bush, beach and river. But actually the most important thing is being able to do what you want when you want.

A minute's stroll behind the lodge brings you to the hide overlooking a waterhole. Here someone will bring you sundowners or tea and cake, whilst you watch animals drinking to the sounds of waves breaking on the beach just beyond them.

Your cottage veranda is a lovely cool, breezy spot for an afternoon snooze before a game walk or boat ride

A fire set on the Beach below the lodge provides a romantic backdrop for drinks before dinner.
