Here you may see lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo, the rare Roosevelt sable, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, eland and hartebeest. The Wami River attracts a fabulous bird life, large pods of hippo, massive crocodiles and the spectacular black and white Colobus monkey.
The Wami river offers probably the best boat safari in Tanzania. The boat often passes flocks of flamingoes at the mouth of the estuary before entering the river with its abundant wildlife and profusion of bird life.
Explored by foot the reserve is extremely rewarding and highlights how much game lives in close proximity to the beach. The fascinating history of the village is evident in the remains of the old fort and war time cemeteries, whilst silhouetted prawn fisherman dragging their nets before the coming dawn make an extremely evocative image.
There
is a new restaurant serving international cuisine (including the famous
Saadani prawns), and an elevated bar overlooking the sea.
Relax in the tree-house, complete with library, which overlooks a waterhole regularly attracting waterbuck, bushbuck, bush pigs and warthogs, as well as less regular buffalo, giraffe, lions and leopards.
