CHADA KATAVI - WILDEST AFRICA
Chada Katavi is situated in the core of Katavi National Park, in western Tanzania. It's said to be one of the wildest places on earth. Filing the floor of the Rukwa Valley - a minor fault of the western rift - Katavi National Park spans over a million acres, and due to its remoteness is one of the least visited parks in Tanzania. Across these plains run the last great herds of buffalo in east Africa.
KATAVI SEASONS
From December to February, Katavi is green and lush after the short rains, with great elephant and plains game sightings. It's a fantastic time for birding, and everywhere you look the plains are covered in wildflowers.
In May and June, it's still green and lush after the long rains, and this is a wonderful time of year to visit.
From July to October, the weather is getting hotter as the plains dry out. The rivers and pools are drying up which concentrates the game in specific areas making for amazing sightings of animals, particularly the crocs and hippos who congregate in their masses in the pools.
