Tanzania’s traditional southern circuit will whizz you through Ruaha and
Selous, but this itinerary takes things one step further with a stop in
Katavi National Park in the west of the country.
If there’s one
place that deserves the moniker ‘off the well-trodden path’, it’s
Katavi, and the beguiling golden-grass plains are serene, still, and
alluringly empty of tourists.
Fly-camping is an absolute must,
and the walking safari to and from your tiny camp will reveal herds of
buffalo, elephant, and hundreds upon hundreds of antelope.
There’s big cats too, and leopard and lion are most commonly spotted in the shady woodlands.
Complete
your adventure with a stop in Ruaha or Selous (or both), two parks that
are rich in big game and offer a blockbuster of activities
