The third largest park in Tanzania, Katavi National Park is also one of the country's more remote areas offering the chance to step back in time to a classic Africa of bygone days. Set in a section of the Great Rift Valley, the park is awash with natural beauty and a booming diversity of wildlife. The park is covered in brachystegia woodland and is popular with grazers such as roan antelopes and eland.
