Chada Katavi Camp

Within this beautiful wilderness Chada Katavi Camp is hidden on a shady spot of acacias and tamarinds on the edge of the Chada plain.

Six traditional East African safari tents follow the line of the edge of the plain. The tents are wide and spacious, with fine wooden furniture, woven rugs and beds spread with crisp white Egyptian cottons. The tents are large, romantic and airy and the bathrooms bush deluxe

The private bathroom tents are set just behind, and have traditional bucket showers and long drop toilets. Hot and cold water is available on request.

The camp has a central lounge, library and bar tent alongside a seperate dining tent. Both are nothing short of splendid; beautifully arranged with comfortable chairs, authentic furnishings, gleaming silverware and glasses that shine in the lamplight.  The atmosphere is very mellow with a lovely campfire that is set up for evening and night time.

“Katavi is the place for the wildlife connoisseur, and for those who think the African bush can offer up no more surprises. Happily indulged, watching the elephants head to water as dusk falls, you feel like one of the last great pioneers; binoculars in your hand, Africa filling your head”.

Access is only by aircraft using shared charter flights, which operate on Mondays and Thursdays only (from Arusha), or by private charter.

A superb “big game” camp in combination with “chimping” at Mahale Greystoke Camp.
