Burigi-Chato National Park, one of Tanzania’s newest and most pristine protected areas, is a hidden gem located in the country’s northwestern region near Lake Victoria. This expansive park, covering over 4,700 square kilometers, is a blend of serene lakes, open plains, wetlands, and miombo woodlands. With a rich ecosystem hosting elephants, hippos, zebras, sitatungas, and countless bird species, it offers an off-the-beaten-path safari experience for adventurous nature lovers and birding enthusiasts alike. The park also shares ecological corridors with Rwanda and Uganda, making it a vital conservation hotspot in the Great Lakes biodiversity belt.
