Katavi National Park is located in a remote location offering
unspoiled wilderness. A predominant feature in Katavi is the enormous flood
plain, split by the Katuma River and several seasonal lakes. The lakes support enormous
groups of hippos, crocodiles and over 400 species of birds. One of the
spectacles in Katavi is the hippos at the end of the dry season when as many as
200 try to squeeze into a pool of water. The male rivalry heats up causing
territorial fights.
The dry season brings Katavi National Park to life, herds of
impala, reedbuck, lions, zebras and giraffes can be seen at the remaining pools
and streams. An estimated 4,000 elephants and several herds of buffaloes in the
thousands also converge on the park when the flood waters retreat.
