Katavi Luxury Tented Camp Location

Katavi tented camp lies within the boundaries of Katavi National Park in south-western Tanzania. The park is 40 miles south of Mpanda, and about 200 miles north-west of Mbeya. The benefit of the remoteness is that, despite offering magnificent game viewing and a landscape of superb physical beauty, it has been barely visited, so it's completely un-spoilt, and totally undeveloped.

On land, as the dry season progresses, the game concentrates around the Chada plains, and lion and hyena move in to predate upon the buffalo that create herds of up to 3000 strong. In the rivers, chaotic pods of hippopotami compete for space with crocodiles as the waters slowly recede. Large families of elephants dominate the landscape. Most notably, these are wild animals, and very exciting to be around.

This luxury tented camp looks east across the Chada plains, right in the heart of Katavi National Park, and is still the only tourist accommodation in the park. This means that you get the place - that is, more than three thousand square miles of National Park - to yourself. Katavi is a consciously low-impact, environmentally sensitive camp, with no plastic, no concrete, no permanent structures. All accommodation is in large double tents for a total of twelve people only, and is luxurious in an elegantly simple way - feather pillows, classic campaign furniture, solar-powered lighting. The bucket showers hang under trees in each tent's thatched bathroom, where there's also traditional safari earth-dug loo.

The ideal journey for the adventurous is to fly into Mahale Camp, trek up the slopes to sit within feet of the chimps, watching their behavior, grooming, mothering and bickering. Go boating and snorkeling and enjoy the fresh sashimi, contemplate the beauty of a malachite kingfisher, and sunsets with your toes in the sandy beach.
