7 Days Western Tanzania Safari

7 Days - Katavi/Mahale Mountains Safari

Wildlife enthusiasts can still visit Africa’s wild and unknown areas, which are becoming increasingly rare.

These mostly uninhabited areas are all isolated, with little or no road access.

There will be no tourist hordes, you will almost certainly be in the company of top professional guides, and you will almost certainly be rewarded well.

Katavi and Mahale have nailed this sweet spot to a tee.

This week-long safari will leave you with indelible memories of Africa at its finest.

On the fingers of one hand, seasoned safari hands count “bucket list” travel experiences in Africa.

This safari combo to katavi and mahale Mountains is unquestionably among the best in southern, central, and eastern Africa!
