Tanzania

Chada Katavi

PLAN MY TRIP

Located in a remote and less crowded section of western Tanzania, Chada Katavi is a simple yet comfortable safari camp.

The camp is nestled under the dappled shade of the canopy of acacia and tamarind trees, with six wonderful safari-type tents set on elevated platforms to catch cooling breezes. Each spacious and airy tent features twin or double beds dressed in crisp linens and gorgeous wooden furnishings. The en suite bathrooms are open to the canopy and come with safari-style bucket showers and eco-flush toilets to minimize their footprint on the environment. A large, private veranda is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush as monkey chatter in the trees and elephants pass by.

The camp sits in the heart of Katavi National Park, a remote outpost in western Tanzania on the edge of the wide Chada plains. The park encompasses a series of wide flood plains, golden with waist high grass in the early dry season, and then green and flooded like a mini Okavango after the rains. The Katuma, Kavu, and Kapapa Rivers are the big draw for the animals here and are home to hippos and crocodiles. Other animals include buffalo, elephant, impalas, lions, and hyenas. Roland and Zoe Purcell of Greystoke Mahale chimpanzee camp fame discovered its vastness in the 1980’s and were drawn by its wildness and the herds of animals they found here.

Morning and afternoon game drives are conducted by expert guides. Private game drives and night drives are available if pre-booked. For a true and intimate look at the bush, guided walking safaris explore the flora and fauna with the help of a guide and an armed scout. This is the best way to see the animals up-close and learn about tracking. Fly-camping is perfect for those guests wishing to truly sleep under the stars in a mosquito-netted tent on a soft mattress and feather pillow with the sounds of nature for a lullaby. There is even a three-course candlelit meal and a glass of chilled wine.

A simple yet stylish bush camp, Chada Katavi has a dining tent and library located in a clearing. At night, everyone gathers around the fire for a drink and a chance to exchange stories of the day’s adventures. Elephants are frequent visitors attracted to the shady fruit trees and buffalo often roam by as they graze on the flood plains. An eco-friendly property, the camp works hard to reduce their water-use and impact on the land and animals.
