  In recent years the Serengeti had 100,000 visitors; in contrast the Katavi National Park in the distant and inaccessible west of Tanzania had only 383 people through the Park Gates. It's rumored that whenever a guest arrives at the park gates the wardens there are surprised and puzzled, so rare are visitors for this park. Here, in this park the only other people you'll meet are other visitors and the staff at the one [tented] lodge in-the whole park. Here you have one million hectares to your self.
  
  I am sure you've read and seen often about places being off the beaten track - this park is the personification of overused expression well off the beaten track. That is for the moment; using the tourists insatiable appetite for something new, anywhere not frequented by other tourists, in this ever shrinking earth, one wonders how long this park will remain secret and remote.
  
  The thing that assists in maintaining this park a hidden jewel is the remoteness of the park. To drive for this park can be an endurance test in-the extreme. To compare more, you might hate to take a gander at: ceder park overhead doors. Departing from Aruhsa, or Dar es Salaam, requires a three to five-day, backbone breaking and bold drive-in a robust 4 x 4. As an alternative to hire a charter flight is a less strenuous alternative, if not equally more expensive. I say easier but this requires a four-hour flight in a light aircraft, with a refueling stop en-route.
  
  If you leap with the intention to camp, you have to be entirely self sufficient. You will be driving to the true wilderness. Once you think of campground, think of a piece of ground for that pitching of tents. Here you'll be really alone with nature. It is really worth the time and effort if you're up-to the adventure. Ceder Park Overhead Doors includes further concerning the purpose of this view.
  
  The park is truly magnificent, covering over one-million hectares of land. There are two ponds, Lake Katavi within the Lake Chada and north and the Katuma River in-the south. Get more on continue reading by navigating to our telling website. Diverse forest and acacia bush in-the park is home to elephant and many types of antelope. The-game here's reported to be unrivaled in-the rest of Africa, this park offering a fantastic opportunity to see Africa as it once was. Reputedly you will find herds of buffalo in entry of three/four thousand animals. The park is mostly large plains grassland - grassland within the dry season, and swampy wetland within the wet season. The optimum time to visit is in the dry season - June to October. Dig up additional info on our favorite related URL by navigating to the internet.
  
  In the dry period all the animals in this park gather around the lakes and along the river. Big crocodiles line the streams and discuss the lakes with a solid mass of hippo. This park may be the spot to see them en-mass If you like hippo. Some of the pools and the centre of Lake Chada can have three thousand hippo at any one time. Additionally there are leopard and many elephants in this park. The buffalo being the meal for a lion means there are no shortages of lion in this park.
  
  You'll find over 400 species of birds, including - Blackfaced Barbet, Angolan Pitta and the Blue Swallow. A highlight of seeing the birds would be to watch the Maribou Stork wading in the dirt and feeding to the barbel [cat fish]. At times the mud comes with these fish and the storks causally acquire them form the soft mud to get a quick and easy meal.
  
  Should you have the probability visit this park before more hotels open and the remoteness and matchless beauty are lost to the tourist industry.
