  • Katavi was an experience. Firstly we were the only guests in the only still open camp Katavi Wildlife Camp. Secondly, we had enormous luck with the weather, being the rainy season we had basically sun or some cloudy skies but no rain for 4 days.

  • The location of the lodge is perfect! Overlooking the ocre tinted plains of the dry season, just before the rains started. Not luxurious but a luxury to have such comfortable, well designed, spacious, clean, well maintained tents!

When to Visit Katavi National Park

The two seasonal lakes on the Kitasunga Plain are drained by the Katuma River during the long dry season between June and late October. Katavi offers its best game viewing during this time, when thousands of plains game congregate around remaining water sources. It is then that you realise that the park’s density of game per kilometre squared rivals that of any other national park in Tanzania.
