Overview

If you've heard "off the beaten path" applied to enough safari parks that it's lost its meaning, Katavi is the place that actually earns it. Tanzania's third-largest national park receives a genuinely tiny fraction of the visitors seen even in the Southern Circuit's quieter parks — official figures have put annual international visitors in the low thousands, compared to hundreds of thousands at the Serengeti. What you get in exchange is dry-season wildlife concentration that rivals anywhere on the continent: hippo pools packed shoulder to shoulder, enormous buffalo herds, and some of the best lion and leopard density in Tanzania, all witnessed in near-total solitude.
