Katavi National Park, Tanzania’s third-largest national park, spans 4,500 square kilometers in the remote southwest. Its isolation makes it one of the least-visited yet most untouched wilderness areas. Reaching the park requires a 4–5-hour flight from Dar es Salaam, limiting tourist numbers and making it a hidden gem primarily explored by locals.

Katavi is best visited during the dry season and is known for its large buffalo herds and frequent lion attacks on them. The park’s landscape is mainly grassland, offering an authentic and peaceful safari experience for those seeking solitude and raw nature.
