Chada Katavi
Opulent Tented Camp Overlooking Chada Plain
Chada Katavi is located under a canopy of acacia and tamarind trees, on a peninsular overlooking the wide Chada Plain in the heart of Katavi National Park. Vast herds of buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, crocodiles and hippo roam the Katavi Plains. The canopy of tall trees are a great source of shade and food for a variety of animal and bird life and this often means seeing great game without having to leave your veranda.
Six spacious safari tents have large net windows to let in lots of light and cool breezes, fine wooden furniture, woven rugs and beds spread with crisp white Egyptian cottons. The tents are large, romantic and airy with private bathroom tents set just behind with traditional safari style bucket showers, and long drop toilets.
At dinnertime, the mess tent is nothing short of splendid, silverware gleaming and glasses shining in the lamplight. This is the place for the wildlife connoisseur, and the traveller who thinks the African bush can offer up no more surprises. Happily indulged, watching the elephants head out to water as dusk falls, you feel like one of the last great pioneers; binoculars in your hand, Africa filling your head.
Staying at Chada Katavi includes game drives in open 4WD vehicles, fly camping under the stars, outstanding birding, daily walks, and the option of longer 3-4 day walking safaris taking you further out into the wilder areas of the park.
The camp is open between 31st May and 11th November. |
