Under a canopy of tall trees, the evening campfire spot invites sundown game watching while enjoying fine wines and mouth watering appetizers. |
 |
Katavi is one of the greatest experiences in Africa! A million wild acres from anywhere, Chada camp is hidden on a shady spit of acacias and tamarinds on the edge of the Chada plain and perfectly positioned for panoramic views over the plain. Hidden in the trees
that flank it are six guest tents, with fine wooden furniture, and
large comfortable beds spread with crisp white Egyptian cottons, and
floors covered with thick woven rugs. The tents are large, romantic
and airy with many shade netting windows to allow the cool breezes
through. The bathrooms are bush deluxe, and set just behind each tent.
And to cap it all, the thoroughly good white wine sitting on your
porch table is perfectly chilled.
