Although Livinsgstone and Speke crossed western Tanzania over a hundred years ago, it still remains one of the most unexplored regions of Africa. Lake Victoria is the world's second largest lake and Lake Tanganyika is the world's longest fresh water lake. On Lake Victoria, Rubondo Island is an extraordinary phenomenon, almost a Jurassic Park that has evolved its own birds, foliage and animals.
Further south, bordering Lake Tanganyika, are two of the most inaccessible parks in the continent, Gombe Stream and Mahale Mountains, where you can see and hear chimpanzees screaming in the forests. Behind the mountains, and in complete contrast to Mahale, lies Katavi, the forgotten park, which is dry and arid but excellent for lion.
Katavi belongs to the beasts of Africa, it is the only human presence, for miles and miles.
Situated on the shores of Lake Tanganyika this exclusive camp is the ideal way to distance yourself from civilization.
Katavi National Park, one of Tanzania's most westerly and remote parks, is only just beginning to gain recognition for its beauty and the quality of its game viewing.
Lupita Island rises up out of the pristine sapphire waters of historic Lake Tanganyika in the remote southwestern region of Tanzania.
Rubondo Island is a National Park and a wonder for the nature enthusiast. A private island in one of the largest lakes in the world.
