bushland and plains of Katavi National Park
Roll back the canvas walls of your safari tent and you have the untamed Katavi National Park spread out before you. Not a bad way to start the day.
As a human being you will be in the minority amongst the creatures that roam at will across the bushland and plains of Katavi National Park. Which is good news for dedicated safaristis, since it means you’ll have great access to the best viewing spots to watch, for example, vast herds of buffalo numbering as many as 4000 individuals – and the formidable prides of lion that stalk them.
As part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Tanzania, a safari from Chada Camp is virtually irresistible. Along with watching the big cats, elephants, buffalo and prodigious birdlife you’ll have the sensation of living in an authentic tented safari camp, sleeping out in fly camps deep in the bush, tracking with expert guides and drinking sundowners round the campfire.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
