Katavi National Park

Safari Highlights:

Are you an intrepid traveler, seeking isolated, untrammeled wilderness? Then Katavi is for you. Seek out the Katuma River and associated floodplains with Tanzania’s densest concentrations of hippo and crocodile. Visit during the rainy season when the lush, marshy lakes are a haven for myriad water birds.

Explore this wilderness in the dry season, when flood waters retreat and the river is reduced to a shallow, muddy trickle.

Watch thousands of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, impala and reedbuck converging on Katavi park, providing easy pickings for the numerous lion prides and spotted hyena clans whose territories overlap on the floodplains.

Take a tough but spectacular drive from Mbeya to Katavi Park which is situated in the remote southwest, east of Lake Tanganyika. The park can also be reached by charter flight from Dar es Salaam or Arusha.

Navigate Katavi by safari vehicle or on foot. Camping is poss00ible in the dry season (June through October) but roads within this park are often flooded and therefore impassable during the rainy season.

Spend your nights at the rest house or in one of the six bandas.  Alternatively, pitch your tent at one of the campsites.
