Katavi National Park
Katavi is in the far west of Tanzania, about sixty miles
east of Lake Tanganyika, one hundred and twenty miles to
the southeast of Mahale. It is a fifty minute flight from,
and over four hundred miles and almost four hours from Arusha.
Its great distance from Arusha and any other parks is undoubtedly
what has saved it from becoming a run-of-the-mill African
safari destination. At present the park has no more than
a handful of visitors each year. Long may it last.

in rich diversity in Birdlife. Close to 400 species have
been identified , There are also many types of butterflies
and number of chimps, also hippos and other animals.
