A remote and seldom visited National Park in western Tanzania, Katavi affords the modern day explorer an experience of untouched African wilderness. The valley grasslands support impressive herds of buffalo, topi and zebra. The higher elevations and miombo woodlands are home to sable, roan and other antelopes. 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 as well as large numbers of other wildlife. Katavi is accessible road, but most visitors fly in by private charter aircraft. A small, classic tented camp provides the only suitable guest accommodation in the Park.. |
