Mbalimbali KataviLodge

Katuma Bush Lodge is one of the few accommodations serving Katavi National Park in remote western Tanzania — one of Africa's largest, wildest, and least-visited national parks. Positioned near the Katuma River, which during the dry season (June-October) becomes a wildlife concentration point rivalling any location on the continent, the lodge offers comfortable rooms with en-suite facilities in a genuine wilderness setting. When seasonal floodplains dry to muddy pools, hippos pack into remaining water by the hundreds, crocodiles compete for space, and predators patrol the banks — wildlife spectacles witnessed by almost no other tourists. The extreme remoteness that deters casual visitors is precisely what rewards those who make the journey: untracked wilderness, abundant wildlife, and the rare privilege of having one of Africa's great national parks virtually to yourself. Katuma Bush Lodge makes this wilderness accessible without sacrificing comfort.
