Katavi National Park spread over an area of 4,471 square kilometres (1,726 sq mi) is Tanzania’s third largest national park, in the remote southwest of the country. Its geographic setting is in a truncated arm of the East African Rift that terminates in Lake Rukwa. It is an integral part of the riverine and palustrine wetland ecosystem. The Katuma River and associated floodplains, Katavi Swamp system, marshy lakes and brachystegia woodland are part of its habitat. Eland, sable and roan antelopes are found in large numbers, and its marshy lakes have a large population of hippos and crocodiles. Elephants, buffaloes, giraffe, zebra, impala and reedbuck are a common sight in the park
