Katavi is a classic dry-country reserve. During the Wet season, from November to April, the wildlife disperses into the woodland and wildlife viewing becomes a challenge. The heat and humidity is oppressive in the Wet season. After the rains, the Katuma River is reduced to a narrow stream, and the floodplains become a magnet for wildlife.
