Katavi full-day game drive

After an early breakfast, depart for a full day of game viewing in one of Tanzania’s most rewarding wildlife areas. Explore the famous Katavi Floodplains, where large concentrations of buffalo, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, and elephant gather throughout the year.
Visit the Katuma River and Lake Chada, important water sources that attract abundant wildlife. These areas are particularly known for their impressive populations of hippos and crocodiles, while lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, and other predators patrol the surrounding plains in search of prey.
A picnic lunch will be served in the bush, allowing you to maximise your time in the park. Continue exploring different habitats during the afternoon before returning to the Bandas for dinner and overnight.
