Katavi Wildlife Camp

As one of only three camps within the remote Katavi National Park, this camp looks out over the Katisunga plains, often dotted with wildlife. Katavi Wildlife Camp has six en-suite Meru-style tents with wooden decks, hammocks, and a seating area, perfect for viewing wildlife from your private tent.

Chada Katavi

Chada looks out over the Chada Plain in Katavi, a park in western Tanzania that sees a fraction of the visitors the northern circuit does. Six tents stand under shade netting with bucket showers behind them, and three fly-camping tents go out for nights away from camp altogether. Walking with an armed scout is a real strength here, alongside game drives, night drives and birding, with more than 400 bird species recorded. The dry season concentrates hippo into shrinking pools and brings buffalo onto the plain in herds. Open June to mid-November and mid-December to mid-February; minimum age twelve.
