## Saanane Island

Just a short boat ride from the lakeside city of Mwanza, Saanane Island is Tanzania's smallest national park — a compact, easily explored island retreat on Lake Victoria.

Once a private zoo, the island retains introduced populations of giraffe, zebra, impala and other plains game that can be viewed on short walking trails, alongside striking granite kopjes and lake views.

### Wildlife & Highlights

It makes an easy half-day escape for travelers passing through Mwanza en route to or from the Western Circuit's more remote parks.

### Best Time To Visit

A year-round destination given its small size and easy access from Mwanza.
