KISAMPA TANZANIA – Saadani

Kisampa is set in a pristine, wild area in Eastern Tanzania.

Kisampa is 100km north of Dar es Salaam and 66 km directly west of Zanzibar and adjoins Saadani National Park to the north east and has the perennial Wami River as its southern boundary.

Kisampa has ox-bow lakes, riverine forests, open grassland, wild rolling hills and steep ridges that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding areas. The diverse habitat makes it a birders paradise. Wildlife is shy but increasing with the protection now provided in the sanctuary.

In no other location on the East African coast can you potentially snorkel on a coral reef, watch turtles hatch out of their nest, indulge in a river boat safari in the tidal Wami River, walk in the Zaraninge coastal rain forest and partake in a coastal savannah game drive – all in the same day and all in one National Park.

Kisampa and Saadani National Park’s unique variety of ecosystems is both their beauty and their charm and allows massive diversity of animal, bird and plant life.

Despite ample birdlife and plenty of primates, large wildlife is quite shy so if you haven’t seen the big five – best you do so before coming to Kisampa.
