Katavi Wildlife Camp - The Facts
This camp is sitauted in west Tanzania and is only accessible twice a week on charter flights either from Arusha or Ruaha. Staying in
Katavi is expensive due to the flights and people often also visit
Mahale Mountain National Park which is a superb lodge on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Katavi only sees a couple of hundred tourists a year, maintaining it as one Tanzania’s great
safari wildernesses. There are only a couple of
safari lodges in Katavi and we only recommend two properties, Katavi Wildlife Lodge and Chada Katavi by Nomad. Both are great but if you can afford the best we recommend Chada Camp.
The main area of Katavi Wildlife lodge has great views onto the Katsunga Plains where you will often have great views of huge herds in the dry season. The main area is very open with relaxed sitting areas near a bar, a great place to relax in the afternoon.
The camp has 8 guest tents which are sat on raised platforms covered with thatched roofs. The tents are of Meru style and are surprisingly spacious with en suite bathrooms at the rear. There are great views out of each of the tents. It’s a lovely little camp and well worth considering for a stay in Katavi!
