5 Days Safari Katavi National Park Overview:

Katavi national park is a very remote park which was created in 1974. The park is approximately 4,471 square kilometers (1,726 sq mi) in area, which makes it the third largest national park in Tanzania. The park is blessed with thousands of zebra, topi, and impala, Hartebeest, giraffe and Defassa water buck. There is a large population of resident elephants and some impressive herds of buffalo. It is a great park for watching lion-buffalo interactions.
