Katavi National Park, in the far west of Tanzania, is somewhere that, even today, few people have been lucky enough to visit. Perhaps because of this, it feels untouched almost like traveling back in time; Chada Katavi sits in the midst of this truly wild place.

Who Likes Pigeons?
Pigeons aren't usually winning beauty pageants in most peoples' minds. Strutting on a city street, they endear themselves to some people who make a hobby of carrying bread to scatter for them. To others they are mess makers.
Now have a look at this beauty, with its striking green plumage, vivid red markings and a breathtaking soft blue eye. Many people report a sighting of this bird like this: "I've just seen an amazing green parrot with a red bill!"
Well, its a pigeon. A gorgeous, fruit-eating African Green Pigeon.
