Katavi has all the credentials of being a top wildlife destination in Africa. It is teeming with animals, beautiful and unspoiled. The reason Katavi sees so few visitors is that it is so remote. This is a good reason to visit if you’re looking for a unique safari experience since there are only two camps and it’s only accessible by light aircraft.

Katavi is best during the dry season (June to November) where the pools are literally filled to the brim with as many as 3000 hippos.
