Northeastern Tanzania
On a small cliff set well back from the water, Bahari Pori has pleasant, Zanzibari-bedded safari-style tents set around manicured grounds overlooking the mangroves and the sea in the distance. It's good if you want peace and quiet, but is not geared to those seeking a beach holiday.
A footpath leads for about 10 minutes down the escarpment through the mangroves to the water, although the coast here is not good for swimming. It’s about 7km north of the Pangani–Muheza road junction.
