Katavi National Park

Katavi National Park is one of Tanzania's most remote and least visited parks, offering a truly off-the-grid wilderness experience in the far west of the country. Covering 4,471 square kilometers of floodplains, dense woodland, and seasonal lakes, it is one of the last great wild places in Africa where you can go days without seeing another vehicle. During the dry season, Katavi transforms into one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife arenas. The Katuma River and its associated floodplains shrink dramatically, concentrating thousands of hippos into shrinking pools, while vast herds of buffalo numbering in the thousands, along with elephants, lions, and crocodiles, converge on the remaining water sources. The sheer density and rawness of wildlife encounters here is unmatched anywhere in Tanzania.
