10 Days - Katavi/Mahale/Gombe

In the safari world, the western safari parks of Katavi and Mahale are considered the “road less traveled.” Due to the region’s relative costs and inaccessibility (a four-hour flight from Arusha/Moshi or a night stopover from the south), only the wealthy and time-rich are able to visit…which is a pity because this is an incredible part of Africa that, in our opinion, deserves to be included among the continent’s all-time great trips. Furthermore, with camps like Katavi Wildlife providing excellent value for money, we would strongly advise spending a week here during peak season; we dare you not to witness at least three things you won’t see anywhere else in Africa! This is the situation.
