Is the Chada Katavi for Me?

Little has changed at Chada Katavi since the Nomad Tanzania founders arrived 20 years ago.

From the air you have to look carefully to spot it, you’ll find your eyes are immediately drawn to such wide open spaces.

That’s the promise of Katavi, total absorption into the natural world.

Chada Katavi is much the same camp that it was when it began – designed to be a stylishly simple bushcamp, small and intimate with just six East African safari tents.

Each of them is spacious and comfortable with wide-open fronts giving you panoramic views of the plain and animal life that constantly comes and goes.

In fact, you often don’t have to leave your tent veranda to see game of all kinds.

Elephant are frequent visitors, attracted to the same shady fruit trees as our guests, and vast herds of buffalo graze on the flood plain in front of camp.

Katavi is known for unbelievable game, with vast herds of buffalo roaming the plains; also elephant, lion, leopard, crocodiles and hippo.

Chada Katavi offers game drives in open 4WD vehicles, night drives, fly camping under the stars, outstanding birding and viewing of big mammals, daily walking safaris.
