 Wildlife in Katavi National Park
The park's main features are the watery grass plains to the north, the palm-fringed lake Chada in the southeast and the Katuma River. Katavi boasts Tanzania's greatest populations of both crocodile and hippopotamus. Lion and leopard find prey among the huge populations of herbivores at Katavi - impala, eland, topi, zebra and herds of up to 1600 buffalo wander the short grass plains. The rare, honey-coloured puku antelope is one of the park's richest wildlife viewing rewards. A kaleidoscope of birds flit across the riverbanks swamps and palm groves while flotillas of pelican cruise the lakes. Elephant graze waist-deep in the marshlands
