Burigi-Chato National Park

One of the main draws of this national park is the third-largest lake in the nation. It is a long lake with numerous islands, inlets, and bays scattered throughout. Some of them are swampy, and they are home to the unique sitatunga antelope and, presumably, the extremely rare shoebill stork. All of the lakes are situated along winding valleys that are mostly vegetated with trees and a few palm trees. They offer peaceful and lovely locations for camping and modest cottages, as well as fantastic boating and waterborne game viewing opportunities. This place exudes the feeling of a wild, uninhabited place that would take a lifetime to fully explore and discover all of its secrets. It is a must-visit as part of the Tanzania Safari Tour because of its diversity and richness of wildlife, which includes rare bird species as well as carnivores and herbivores.

Wildlife

Elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, waterbuck, eland, warthog, roan, topi, impala, sable, and many other smaller species are among the numerous wildlife species that are becoming more numerous throughout the park. Oribi is also typically encountered. The species that lives in swamps, the sitatunga, is less common. On one can see the big cats: lion, leopard, and cheetah. In the lakes and rivers, there are also a lot of crocodiles and hippos.
