Cterra Saadani Luxury Tents — Hotel in Tanga Region

Nestled between white sands and the wild edge of Saadani National Park, this place feels like stepping into a real-life retreat. From the carved elephant door at arrival to breezy dome tents opening onto ocean views, every detail whispers intentional design and soulful style. The food was a real highlight, fresh, well-seasoned, balanced and honest, with locally sourced prawns, fish, and chicken that hit the spot after tranquil moments by the pool. Mornings drift by with ocean breezes; Taking afternoons for a boat ride up the Wami River, weaving past hippos, crocodiles, and wild birds!!

I recently stayed at Cterra Saadani Luxury tents, and honestly, it felt like I had accidentally stepped into a postcard. The view? Absolutely second to none. You know those pictures you see online that make you think, “There’s no way it looks like that in real life”? Well, it does, and then some.

If you want a place that feeds your soul, fills your memory card, and makes you feel at home in paradise...

Staying at Cterra Saadani Luxury Tents was great idea. We had an amazing experience from thr moment we walked. As a family with three kids, I was initially concerned about safety and convenience, but it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.

The luxurious accommodations offered stunning views, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The safari was well-planned, and we got to see all the big animals. The bonfire at night, complete with dinner and a Maasai dance, was a magical highlight. An exceptional experience that was truly worth every penny! We will be...
