Just off Mwanza, Saanane Island National Park places wildlife and Lake Victoria scenery within easy reach of the city. Its compact scale makes it ideal for a carefully designed short escape or an add-on to a western Tanzania itinerary.
The experience
Walking, birding, canoeing and wildlife viewing unfold against rocky islands, lake horizons and pockets of woodland. The experience is less about covering distance and more about enjoying an unusual meeting point between city, lake and protected nature.
We can also combine this destination with other parks, reserves, cities or coastal experiences where the routing makes sense.
