Kigosi National Park is a remarkable wetland wilderness in western Tanzania, renowned for its seasonal floodplains, river systems and diverse birdlife. Its natural habitats support a variety of wildlife, offering visitors a distinctive experience away from Tanzania's more frequently visited safari destinations.
Kigosi was established as a national park in 2019, but its national park designation was revoked in June 2023 to allow its conversion into a forest reserve. It is therefore better not to market it as a current TANAPA national park.
