A PLACE THAT STAYS WITH YOU

A new perspective.
A different feeling.

Remote floodplains and woodland where western Tanzania opens into wide safari country.

Katavi offers a broad, remote landscape where the season strongly influences the distribution of wildlife and the condition of access routes. Time in one area helps the stay feel like an exploration rather than a transfer between sightings.

A stay in Katavi National Park can be a focus in its own right or part of a wider Tanzania route. The right number of nights depends on your interests, the available connections and the amount of time you want to spend in each setting. We plan the route and accommodation together so that the journey feels connected rather than hurried.
