Chada Katavi is situated in the heart of Katavi National Park, in western Tanzania. Reputed to be one of the wildest places on earth, it remains undiscovered and very definitely off the beaten track. From its elevated vantage point Chada Katavi offers a stylish, classy and comfortable camp, perfectly positioned for panoramic views over the Chada plain.
Named after a legendary hunter called Katabi, Katavi was established in 1974 and is one of the most remote, vast, natural and pristine parks in Africa. The canopy of acacias, kigelias and tamarinds at Chada Katavi are a popular source of shade and food for the abundant bird and animal species that inhabit the region, creating excellent game viewing opportunities without you even having to leave the camp.
Game abounds on the valleys, forests and plains, home to huge concentrations of hippo & crocodile, as well as the last great herds of buffalo in East Africa, up to 1000 head. Almost everywhere you look, there's something grazing, bellowing, fighting, mating, hunting. You can choose from game drives in open 4-wheel drive vehicles, walking with an armed guide, fly camping out for the night under the stars or simply enjoying soaking it all up from your tent veranda.
Sitting among trees, Chada Katavi offers 6 spacious walk-in tents, each with 2 twin beds or a double bed and fine furnishings.
Each tent has a private bathroom with safari loos and bucket showers with ample piping-hot water. Washstands, with pitchers of hot and cold water, are set at the front of each tent.
Dinner time at Chada Katavi is a simple, yet elegant affair, with silverware and gleaming glasses set on a long dining table, so everyone tends to eat together.
As with many small bush camps, the food is delicious, hearty and highly rated. Lavish picnic breakfasts, brunches and lunches laid out under shady trees may await you on your return from a morning’s game viewing.
