 Chada
Katavi Camp
Chada Katavi is hidden on a shady
spit of acacias and tamarinds
on the edge of the wide Chada
floodplain, a Mecca for game.
From a distance, the camp is invisible
against the browns and golds of
the surrounding bush. Hidden in
the trees that flank it are six
guest tents, spread with crisp
white Eygyptian cottons and thick
floor rugs. The tents are large,
romantic and airy with ensuite
bathrooms and toilets, with the
bottle of white wine sitting on
your porch table perfectly chilled.
During dinner time, the comfortable
mess is converted into silverware
and glasses shining in the lamplight.
