Katavi National Park is the most remote park and it is third largest National Park (4471 sqkm) in Tanzania. The park consists of a welcoming floodplains that might catch your eyes once you arrive through their woodland fringes.
Katavi’s dramatic scenery is as varied as it is pristine. Flood plains of thick reeds and dense waterways are home to a huge population of hippo and varied birdlife. In the woodlands to the west, forest canopies shroud herds of buffaloes and elephants. Seasonal lakes fill with dirty coloured water after the rains and animals from all corners of the park descend in them to drink. The park is also home to the rare roan and sable antelope species, and it is a must-see for the visitors intending to explore the wilds of the continent.
If your are thinking about the best adventure as an alternative to Tanzania Northern circuit, this could be your best park to be included in your map.
