9 Days - The Contrasts of Western Tanzania

Found in the western circuit of Tanzania, are two lesser known,  tricky to access and extremely remote national parks, that are very different from anything else in Tanzania, and totally magical;

• Katavi National Park

There are only a couple of small, permanent safari camps sharing this 4,500km² of wilderness. You sometimes run across more prides of lion than other people on a game drive. Tanzania's third largest national park won't disappoint you. Two enormous plains of knee-high golden grass – Chada and Katasunga – dominate the park, surrounded by varied woodlands and an unusually abundant amount of game.

• Mahale Mountains National Park

Few people make the effort to come here and so it has remained an untouched, unique experience, and absolutely worth visiting. Mahale is also probably the best place in the world for chimp safaris!  Described in one of the best guidebooks on Tanzanian Safaris as “quite simply one of the most beautiful parks anywhere in Africa".  

This trip can be extended by adding one of Tanzanias' wonderful Islands, depending on what you want to experience. From the Spice Island of Zanzibar to the swimming with Whale shark on Mafia Island, or diving with the best on Pemba.. or simply enjoy a romantic time on the private island of Fanjove.

This trip can also be coupled with a trip to Southern Tanzania where you can experience two more majestic wildlife parks in contrast to what you may have experienced in the past;
