The mix of walking and water activities ensures families and adventure seekers find memorable moments. After a day of exploration, the nearby town of Arusha provides comfortable accommodation and a range of dining options, allowing guests to unwind while reflecting on the day’s sights.

Katavi National Park – Remote Safari in Western Tanzania

Katavi National Park offers an unrivalled glimpse into Tanzania’s untouched wild heart. Here, hippos crowd watercourses so densely they carve channels in the mud, creating a living sculpture of nature’s power. Lion prides follow the seasonal buffalo herds across endless plains, their movements a timeless dance that feels far removed from modern life. The park’s remote location means fewer visitors, allowing wildlife to thrive in a pristine environment. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the abundance of raptors and waterfowl that gather around the seasonal lakes, while trekkers can explore rugged hills that rise dramatically from the savannah. Nighttime brings a chorus of nocturnal sounds, offering a sensory experience unlike any other. Travelers seeking authentic adventure will find both challenge and reward in Katavi’s raw beauty. With guided walks, boat safaris and comfortable camp lodges, the destination balances comfort with the thrill of true wilderness exploration.

In the north, the lush forests of Mahale and Gombe host playful chimpanzees, providing a rare glimpse into our closest relatives.

Common Questions

What is the best time to visit?

June to October is the dry season, offering the best wildlife viewing across the country. However, if you want to witness the Calving Season (8,000+ wildebeest born daily), the best time is January to March in the Southern Serengeti (Ndutu).

Is Tanzania safe for tourists?

Yes, Tanzania is one of the safest and most politically stable countries in East Africa. When on safari, you are always accompanied by expert guides. At lodges, Maasai 'askaris' (guards) ensure your safety from wildlife.

Do I need a Visa?

Most international visitors require a visa. It costs $50 ($100 for US citizens) and can be obtained on arrival, but we highly recommend applying for the E-Visa online at least 3 weeks before travel to avoid queues.

What should I pack?

Pack light! Soft-sided bags are best for small aircraft. Bring neutral colors (khaki, beige, green), a wide-brimmed hat, sturdy shoes, and warm layers for early mornings. Don't forget your camera and binoculars.
