Katavi National Park

Overview

Is one of Tanzania’s most remote and wild safari destinations, offering an unparalleled experience of untouched wilderness in the Western Corridor. Known for its vast, rugged landscapes and abundant wildlife, Katavi provides a true adventure for travelers seeking solitude and authentic encounters away from the busy northern parks.

The park’s main activity is the Game Drive, where visitors can witness large herds of elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and crocodiles congregating around the Katuma River. Lions, leopards, hyenas, and wild dogs are also commonly sighted, making it one of the best places to see predators in action. The sprawling floodplains and miombo woodlands create stunning backdrops for wildlife viewing.

For a more intimate connection with nature, Walking Safaris allow visitors to explore the park on foot, guided by experienced rangers. These safaris offer unique opportunities to learn about animal tracks, plants, and the ecosystem while enjoying the sights and sounds of the African bush up close. Katavi National Park is truly a hidden treasure for adventurous safari lovers.
