Chada Katavi

About

Located in southwest Tanzania, within Katavi National Park, Chada is one of the remotest lodges there is and little frequented (not because of an absence of wildlife, but the difficulty in reaching it). Unspoilt with a rustic charm, the camp is perfectly positioned on an elevated stretch, that provides a panoramic view across the Chada plains, as herds of buffalo meander through. Shaded by a grove of acacia and tamarind trees, filled with birdlife, the tented camp lays peacefully as dappled sunlight flickers across the canvas roofs.

Camp

The communal lounge and dining areas are linked via raised decking and provide a comfortable space to take meals or sit back and relax throughout the day. With plenty of seating and side tables, you may wish to explore their well-stocked library, whilst enjoying a freshly brewed coffee, or enjoy a meal on the deck as you make the most of al fresco dining. Meals are included in the stay, starting with a buffet-style breakfast, a lighter lunch option, followed by a three-course dinner alongside other guests.

Rooms

There are just six large Meru-style safari tents, each with en-suite bathrooms and wide netted windows to help keep the rooms cool, whilst keeping insects out. Simple furnishings include handwoven rugs, a writing desk, a storage unit and camping chairs for you sit back and watch the sun go down. The bathrooms are equipped with eco flush toilets and in true safari-style – bucket showers!
