Route of the Ruaha and Katavi Photographic Safari

This page presents the map and itinerary of the 2027 Ruaha and Katavi photographic safari, a fly-in journey through Remote Tanzania, departing from Dar es Salaam, flying to Ruaha National Park, continuing by air to Katavi National Park and finally returning by air to Dar es Salaam.

The purpose of this page is to show the main stages of the journey, the internal flights, the camps used and links to the dedicated lodge, wildlife and complete photographic safari programme pages.

The route combines two very different photographic environments: Ruaha, with its baobabs, elephants, predators and powerful landscapes, and Katavi, with its large buffalo herds, hippos, crocodiles, remote expanses and profound sense of authentic African wilderness.
