5 Star rated safari company in Moshi, Tanzania on TripAdvisor
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.
