Another flat ride today on dirt roads as we head south towards Saadani National Park. You will start a ride after the breakfast at 7:00am. Our route will take you past many coastal villages and you will have the Indian Ocean on our left the entire ride. Saadani is the only wildlife sanctuary in Tanzania bordering the sea and has four of the Big Five – East African lions, bush elephants, leopards and buffaloes. Our last 8 km are in the park so we will have our own game drive while cycling. 

 

We also overnight in the park so will get the chance to hear the wild animals at night. Today we have two options, you can ride 50km from Pangani to Saadani National Park gate and get into the car for the transfer to lodge for lunch and later on you can do evening game drive to see the four of the big five closer, or riding the whole route with 72km and chilling at the beach.
