Destination
Katavi National Park
One of Africa's most remote and least-visited national parks — vast floodplains with enormous hippo and buffalo concentrations and no other tourists.
Highlights
One of Africa's least-visited parks
Enormous hippo concentrations (dry season)
Massive buffalo herds
True wilderness experience
Best Time to Visit
June to October when the Katuma River shrinks to pools packed with hippos and crocodiles. Spectacular but extremely remote.
Budget Guide
Very few accommodation options. Chada Katavi camp $700-1,500/night. Basic TANAPA bandas $30-50/night. Charter flights are expensive.
Getting There
Charter flight from Arusha, Dar, or Mahale. Very few visitors — most combine with Mahale for a western circuit itinerary.
