Destination Katavi National Park
Untouched, Remote, Wild
Tanzania’s Hidden Wilderness
Deep in western Tanzania lies Katavi National Park, one of Africa’s most untouched and least-visited safari destinations. Spanning about 4,471 km², Katavi offers a raw and authentic experience.
This remote paradise is home to massive herds of buffalo, large gatherings of hippos and crocodiles, and abundant elephants. Lions, leopards, hyenas, and wild dogs patrol the plains, while giraffes, zebras, and antelopes roam freely across the open landscapes.

Wilderness Experience
Katavi offers one of Tanzania’s most exclusive safari experiences remote, dramatic, and incredibly rewarding. During the dry months, the Katuma River and its associated floodplains Lake Katavi and Lake Chada become the lifeline for thousands of animals.
Here, you can witness hundreds of hippos crammed into shrinking pools, elephants digging for water in the riverbeds, and lions stalking prey in the golden grasslands. Every moment in Katavi feels like a journey back to Africa’s untamed past.
