Chada Katavi

Chada Katavi Camp is hidden amongst the trees at the edge of the wide Chada floodplain. There are six large, romantic and airy guest tents bedecked in crisp white cottons, with thick floor rugs and deluxe bush bathrooms. Come dinnertime, the mess is nothing short of splendid, silverware and glasses shining in the star light.

Chada Katavi's tents, just 6 of them, are raised up on wooden platforms on the edge of the Chada Plain. They have wide-open fronts and lots of shade net windows to let in the passing breeze.

The en-suite bathrooms are at the side, also on platforms, and have eco-flush loos, and hot and cold water on demand.

Safari style bucket showers are the best thing here, tried and tested and we cant think of no better way to wash off the Katavi dust. Water is a valuable resource here, especially during the dryer months, and we share it with a great many other animals - we take this very seriously here.

In a clearing you'll find the dining tent and a library, both are comfortable little spaces to while away the hours when you're not out in the midst of a safari adventure.

Game viewing at Chada is excellent. The floodplains contain hippo in their hundreds, not just in the rivers but grazing on the banks in their masses. Elephants head to water in the morning and evening, and vast herds of cape buffalo are frequently seen advancing over the plains.

Chada Camp offers a full range of safari activities; 4x4 day-time and night-time game drives, fly camping and walking safaris.

The intrepid fly camping trips are particularly recommended. Getting you right into the heart of the Katavi wilderness, nights are spent with only a mosquito net between you and the night sky, offering an inimitable bush experience.
