Saadani is not a crowded park. On most drives you will not pass another vehicle, which changes the character of the whole thing: the animals are not performing, and neither are you.
The open savannah behind the camp holds elephant, giraffe, buffalo, warthog, yellow baboon and at least a dozen antelope species. Lion are present and occasionally seen. Because the park meets the ocean, you can finish a drive and be in the sea twenty minutes later.
Drives run early morning and late afternoon, when the animals move and the light is worth having.
