It is situated in the central southern part of Tanzania and covers a territory of about 10.300 km. It is the countrys second biggest park, one of the least accessible parks and remains one of the country's best kept secrets.

Here, you will experience most of the big game: elephant; buffalo; hippos; crocodiles; lion; cheetah; leopard; wild dog and lots of antelope; Greater and Lesser Kudu; roan and sable antelope; and Grants gazelles.

It is also a birdwatcher's paradise as there are 350 species of bird that are not found in northern Tanzania and as the river runs through spectacular gorges and majestic trees it is especially appealing to photographers.
