We had breakfast by the old broken bridge next to a stinky lagoon of wallowing hippos. As we watched more hippos came to join the party running along the opposite bank and into the pool.

Katavi National Park, the third largest national park in Tanzania. It is very remote and less frequently visited than other Tanzanian national parks.

The number of annual visitors to the park is extremely low, just above 1,500 foreign visitors out of a total 900,000 registered in the whole Tanzania National Parks system during 2012-13.

Wildlife includes large animal herds, particularly of Cape Buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, and elephants, plus along the Katuma river, crocodiles and hippopotami which upon annual dry seasons results in mudholes that can be packed with hundreds of hippos.
