Katavi National Park
Raw Wilderness & Massive Hippo Pools
About Katavi National Park
Katavi is Tanzania's least-visited major national park, and that is precisely its appeal. During the dry season, the Katuma River and seasonal lakes shrink to reveal some of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife spectacles.
