A Tent With A View:–
Tanzania Safari Lodges in Saadani | Zanzibar Accommodation | Zanzibar Hotels

Welcome to A Tent With A View. We are an accredited member of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) and we provide a range of Tanzania Safaris and tours, which will give you a taste of authentic Africa. We also provide Tanzania safari lodge accommodation in the Saadani National Park, which is Zanzibar’s closest wildlife National Park. So if you are looking for Zanzibar hotels, or Zanzibar accommodation and would like to add a safari to your Zanzibar holiday combined with a stay on a stunning deserted beach completely unique to Africa please have a look at our Saadani Safari lodge accommodation.

Located on a beautiful Indian Ocean beach surrounded by the stunning bush of Saadani National Park, A Tent with a View offers a peaceful retreat from which to explore Tanzania's only coastal wildlife reserve.

We have ten luxury tented accommodation and three luxurious suites including our truly unique honeymoon suite. All of our suites and eight of our luxury tents are elegantly perched on large wooden platform terraces whilst two are at beach level. All are private and well spaced along a pristine stretch of Indian Ocean beach. Each room offers full en-suite facilities and large balconies with hammocks overlooking the azure sea. Throughout the lodge, emphasis is on relaxation and appreciation of the natural environment, which we hope is reflected in the thoughtful design of the Saadani accommodation and restaurant bar areas. Guests can relax in one of our two bars with a choice of cold beers, cocktails or maybe an inviting gin & tonic before settling down to a mouth watering evening meal. Freshly caught seafood is a speciality and combined with an extensive wine list you are assured of a memorable dining experience.

Local materials have been used wherever possible in the creation of our Saadani accommodation, including timbers from beached dhows, and from coconut palms felled by elephants. Lights, refrigeration, and water heating are all from solar power.

Saadani is geographically the closest reserve to Dar es Salaam (130km) and, even considering the present situation of no coast road, it is still a similar distance in terms of time to Mikumi National Park, the next closest wildlife destination. Construction of the coast road from Dar es Salaam is underway and once completed, this will reduce driving time to around two hours from Dar making Saadani the closest wildlife destination to Dar offering an irresistible combination of beach and wildlife viewing.

Saadani also sits almost directly opposite Zanzibar's Stone Town, located approximately 42 km away. Flights from Zanzibar to Saadani take just 15 minutes.

In addition to our Saadani Safari lodge accommodation we also offer a choice of walking safaris from the lodge and [4x4 vehicle safaris combined with] boating safaris on the Wami River, which is one of the highlights of any visit to Saadani. Please visit our Saadani Safaris page for more details.
