The Soul Of Saadani

It has been 12 years ever since Saadani has been gazetted as a National park. At first, Saadani was a game reserve and it struggled to maintain and sustain the resources such as the mangrove

forest which was overwhelmed and exploited by the community adjacent to the reserve. I am thrilled to be one of the witnesses of the great positive changes in the Saadani ecosystem. Ever since converted into a national park, it has managed to restore and protect the mangrove forest making it a biodiversity hotspot. As the Wami river passes through the southern part of the park, it provides shelter and a rich habitat for the hundreds of species that depend on the Saadani National Park ecosystem. Furthermore, it’s the only wildlife sanctuary in East Africa to boast an Indian Ocean Beachfront.
