À vivre

Set in the vast Chada Plains, at the heart of Katavi National Park, a region renowned for its exceptional concentration of wildlife, Chada Katavi is a genuine bush camp, nestled in a beautiful wooded setting of acacias and tamarind trees, offering discreet, essential comfort.
Nomad Tanzania, the camp's owner, wanted to preserve the feeling experienced on first discovering this place: that of a raw, intact territory, almost outside of time, where human presence recedes behind the power of the wild.
Here, nature reigns unchallenged. Crocodiles and hippopotamuses dominate the rivers, whose levels gradually drop over the course of the dry season. The former take refuge in the mud or stretch out in the shade, while the latter crowd into increasingly small pools of water. Tensions rise, rivalries intensify, and only the strongest prevail.

Layout

With only six tents, the camp cultivates an intimate, exclusive atmosphere conducive to attentive, personalised service.
The common areas include a library, a tented lounge, a bar and a separate dining room, where silverware and glasses gleam in the soft lamplight. The whole creates a warm, elegant atmosphere deeply rooted in the spirit of traditional safari.

For your children

The camp welcomes children from age 12. At this age, they can fully take part in all activities, including walking safaris led by experienced guides.

Rooms

Each tent, set on a wooden platform, offers generous space extended by an open terrace facing the plains.
The adjoining bathrooms, simple in design, feature eco-friendly toilets, a basin and a safari shower, with hot water available on request — a resourceful approach suited to this remote setting.

Activities offered

The experiences on offer here rank among the most intense in Africa. Katavi's vast plains host huge herds of buffalo, its rivers teem with hippos and crocodiles, while its forests conceal more elusive wildlife, including big cats.
Chada Katavi offers 4x4 safaris as well as guided walks. For an even deeper immersion, 3- to 4-day fly-camping expeditions allow guests to explore remote areas, far from any human presence.
The camp is open from June to mid-November.
