"Katavi National Park in western Tanzania is one of Africa's wildest and least-visited parks."
During the dry season, hippos concentrate in their thousands around the Katuma River's shrinking pools, fighting for space in scenes of primeval drama. Buffalo herds of several thousand animals attract enormous lion prides, and the complete absence of other tourists makes every sighting feel like your own private discovery.
