About

Established by Nomad Tanzania, Chada Katavi is designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, offering a minimalist yet comfortable safari experience. The camp operates seasonally, open from mid-June to mid-November, aligning with the dry season when wildlife congregates around the remaining water sources, providing exceptional game viewing opportunities. Its commitment to low-impact tourism ensures that guests can enjoy the wilderness responsibly.

Rooms

The camp features six spacious, safari-style tents, each elevated on wooden platforms and equipped with en-suite bathrooms that include eco-friendly bucket showers. The tents are furnished with twin or double beds, fresh linens, and offer private verandas with panoramic views of the surrounding plains, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Dining

Dining at Chada Katavi is a communal affair, with meals served in an open-air mess tent or under the stars, depending on the weather. The camp offers a variety of dishes, including hearty breakfasts, light lunches, and three-course dinners, all prepared with fresh ingredients. Guests can also enjoy bush breakfasts and sundowners in scenic locations, enhancing the safari experience.

Activity

Chada Katavi offers a range of activities designed to showcase the park’s rich biodiversity. Guests can embark on game drives in open 4WD vehicles, guided walking safaris led by experienced naturalists, and, for the more adventurous, fly camping excursions that involve sleeping under the stars in a remote location. Bird watching and cultural visits to nearby communities are also available, providing a well-rounded exploration of the region.
