Katavi has the highest concentration of game in Tanzania, and yet is the least visited park by tourists. Here you can enjoy the feeling of an original safari as if you were the first to discover the wildest remote part of Africa.

The park's main features are the watery-grassy plains to the north, the palm-fringed Lake Chala in the south-east, and the marshlands of the Katuma River. Nowhere in Africa is there a larger concentration of crocodiles or hippos. The park's other habitat include the Miombo and Acacia woodland in the north west. Herds of up to 1600 buffalo wander the short-grass plains. Other animals include: topi, lion, roan, sable, 4000 elephant, southern reedbuck, impala, leopard, eland, zebra, giraffe, and the rare puku antelope. More than 400 bird species are found in the park.
