Katavi Wildlife Camp, Katavi National Park, Tanzania
A Tented Camp in Tanzania
Camp Details
Explore the remote wilderness of Katavi National Park during a Tanzanian safari experience like no other. The sounds of elephant grazing outside your tented suite is your morning alarm at Katavi Wildlife Camp, their low rumble echoing through the crisp air. The concentration of game found here rivals that of any other national park in the country. This secluded ecosystem in Western Tanzania promises exciting encounters with African wildlife, luscious landscape, Africa’s raw magic and few other travellers.
Venture off the beaten path to discover the untouched Katavi National Park. Katavi Wildlife Camp offers an intimate safari experience, inviting you to connect with nature’s beauty without the crowds. Katavi Wildlife Camp is situated between the verdant Miombo woodlands and the golden grasslands of the Kitasunga Plain, near the edge of the Katuma River.
WHY CHOOSE KATAVI WILDLIFE CAMP?
- The camp is located where the Katuma river drains the Katisunga plain and the two-storey main banda is perfectly located to maximise viewing of the daily movements of game between grazing and drinking from the Katuma river.
- Katavi actually has a plain called ‘Paradise’ and we think it’s pretty aptly named.
- The game drives are led by a trained, experienced English speaking guide who will ensure that you get the most out of every safari you make.
- Game drives in Katavi offer a varied and rewarding experience. Drive along crocodile-infested rivers, through arid plam studded sand bars, and skirt seasonal lakes, seeing quantities of game reminiscent of a bygone era.
