Wild Encounters in Katavi National Park

Embark on a half-day or full-day game drive along the 12km-long Katisunga safari circuit to the aptly named ‘paradise’ area of the park. Here you’ll have the chance to see vast buffalo herds, African Wild Dog, and thousands of hippo wallowing in the Ikuu River that is dotted with crocodile hollows. Visitors also have the opportunity to potentially tick off the near threatened puku antelope that favours swampy habitats.

Our experienced safari guides are passionate about sharing their in-depth knowledge of Katavi's flora and fauna. They'll expertly navigate the terrain, no matter the season, ensuring your safety and that you have the best wildlife encounters during your safari holiday in Tanzania.

Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch in a scenic location, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bush. Savour the flavours of Tanzania while taking in the breathtaking landscape.

At dusk, gather around a crackling campfire under a canopy of stars and enjoy sundowners overlooking the Katuma River. Sip on a refreshing drink as you watch the sun paint the sky in vibrant hues, while swapping stories from the day’s adventure.

Guests staying at Katavi Wildlife Camp have the option of booking private game drives and their own 4x4 vehicle for a more personalised safari experience and the flexibility to tailor their stay according to their preferences. 

Imagine the adrenaline rush of encountering African wildlife on foot during a guided walking safari. This is an opportunity to experience Katavi's diverse ecosystem up close.
