Katavi National Park, located in the far west of Tanzania, is one of the country’s most remote and untouched safari destinations. Covering an area of 4,471 square kilometers, Katavi is often referred to as the “Last Wilderness.” The park is known for its rugged landscapes, large populations of hippos and crocodiles, and its low visitor numbers, offering an exclusive safari experience.
