KATAVI WILDERNESS CAMP

OFFICIAL CATEGORY (MINISTRY OF TOURISM CLASSIFICATION): TBA
DESCRIPTION: The luxurious Katavi Wilderness Camp is situated in a location with flood plains and fringed woodland that is teeming with wildlife, offering good photographic opportunities.
looks east across the Chada plains, right in the heart of Katavi National Park.The true wonder of Chada Katavi awaits when you venture out to meet the animals face to face. From Chada Katavi you can take your pick from game drives in open 4 wheel drive vehicles, walking with an armed guide, fly camping out for the night under the stars or simply enjoying soaking it all up from your tent veranda.The camp itself is very much a traditional tented camp, refreshingly simple, comfortable and elegantly hosted. With a maximum of 12 guests in camp at any time, you are guaranteed as much privacy and isolation as you wish.

LOCATION: Katavi Wilderness Camp is set in the extremely remote Katavi National Park. Although 120 000 people visit the northern parks annually, less than 200 reach Katavi National Park, which is reputed to be one of the wildest places on earth.

NUMBER OF ROOMS: There are 6 double traditional safari tents with complete privacy, unrivalled views and large comfortable beds.

ROOM AMENITIES: Private bathrooms are set at the rear of each tent and can easily be connected by a screen when required. Long drop toilets, traditional safari 'bucket showers' and washstands, with pitchers of hot and cold water set out the front of each tent, give this camp a genuine safari feel.The bucket showers hang under trees in each tent's thatched bathroom.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE FACILITIES: Food is deliciously fresh and hearty. Supper, served in the mess tent, is often frequented by a curious old elephants. Lavish picnic breakfasts, brunches and lunches are laid out under shady trees.

RECREATION ACTIVITIES: Lake Katavi and Lake Chada boast one of the largest population of Hippo and Crocodile and the floodplains provide a habitat for an abundance of waterfowl. Its vast size, infinite grassland plains, isolation and inaccessibility have meant that herd sizes are huge and it is not unknown to see up to 1600 Buffalo at once! Lion, and other predators, wait along the fringed woodland to ambush the game as it returns to the woodland for shelter at sundown. There's nowhere else like it!
