KATAVI WILDLIFE CAMP
OVERVIEW
A safari to the remote Katavi National Park in Tanzania, staying at Katavi Wildlife Camp.
Katavi National Park is wild, remote and little known. The thick concentration of game, especially as the seasonal lakes disappear, will astound even hardened safari-goers.
The camp is unfenced and wildlife wander around freely.
For safety, Maasai guides take guests on short walking safaris between their rooms and other camp areas.
Safaris in Katavi offer a varied and rewarding experience. Drive along crocodile-infested rivers, through arid plam studded sand bars, and skirt seasonal lakes, seeing quantities of game reminiscent of a bygone era.

Katavi Wildlife Camp
This is a remote and less well known park and as such, there are less people, but there is huge concentrations of wildlife.
At a size of 4470km2, its the third largest park in Tanzania and its landscape is dominated by 3 large floodplains strung together by the Katuma River which boasts one of the largest population of Hippo and Croc. The savanna plains fill with huge herds during the day time and the equally impressive selection of predators wait patiently for their return to the woodland towards the end of the day.
Katavi Wildlife Camp is set on the edge of the Katisunga plain, nestled in the woodland that skirt this seasonal lake. Katavi Wildlife Camp blends naturally into it's environment, and enjoys one of the best views in the park.
With only 6 luxury safari tents and a max of 12 guests, this camp offers a more initmate bush experience.
