Katavi National Park
Remote location in western Tanzania
Tanzania's third largest park
Easy to combine with Mahale
Located in the extreme east of Tanzania, Katavi National Park receives few visitors. If you’re looking for remoteness and are not afraid to travel a great distance, then Katavi is a your choice.
Wildlife gathers during the dry season (from June to October) at the Katuma and Kapapa rivers, offering visitors a chance to see large herds of elephant and buffalo, as well as zebra and other antelope. The rivers and the seasonal Lake Katavi and Lake Chada become a paradise for birds during the wet season, as do the 425-km² Katisunga flood plains. Water trickles away during the dry season, leaving crocodile and hippo rubbing shoulders in the little that remains. Fights among hippo then become a daily occurrence.
