Lion and elephant are common,
and the waterways are home to populations of hippos and crocs. Lakes
Chada and Katavi host extraordinary concentrations of water birds,
and the Rukwa valley in the south of the Park is home to puku (an
impala-sized antelope related to the waterbuck) and southern reedbuck

suitable guest accommodation in the Park..
