This remote Tanzanian park is basically a massive wildlife playground that barely anyone visits. Katavi National Park sits in the west near Mpanda and ranks as the third biggest sanctuary after expanding its borders way back in 1974. Getting to this isolated spot usually involves hopping on charter planes from Zantas Air or Safari Air Link, although extremely patient travelers can suffer through a long train ride or drive from Dar es Salaam to reach the Sitalike and Ikuu airstrips.

The weather stays tropical with heavy rains hitting in December, while October brings the heat. Tourists mostly stick to 4x4 game drives or intense hiking on the Chorangwa trail to find waterfalls. Bird lovers can spot hundreds of different feathered species, and brave campers can pitch tents in wild areas that lack toilets or running water. Night drives offer a chance to see nocturnal beasts using spotlights, but filming anything commercial requires dropping serious cash for a permit.
