Katavi National Park

Tanzania's Last True Wilderness

About Katavi National Park

Katavi is Tanzania's most remote and least-visited national park — a true wilderness where you might go an entire day without seeing another vehicle. During the dry season, thousands of hippos crowd the shrinking pools of the Katuma River in dramatic congregation, while massive buffalo herds and big lion prides create scenes of raw, unfiltered Africa.

Highlights

  • Thousands of hippos in dry season pools
  • Massive buffalo herds — 1,000+ animals
  • Remote, truly off-the-beaten-path
  • Large lion prides
  • Virtually no other tourists
