A wonderful place for wildlife watching and game drives. Katavi NP and Katavi Wildlife Camp is the place to be if you like to have a luxury, private, unforgettable stay
Visited in november 2023
4 nuits à 11 personnes très agréable dans ce lodge splendide en immersion totale avec les animaux. Coup de cœur pour notre masai Julius. Nourriture moins bonne qu'à ruffiji river camp et personnel moins chaleureux et attentionnés.
Mais la beauté du lieu fait oublier les choses moins bien.

Si je pouvais mettre 1000 étoiles je les aurais mises sans hésiter.
Nous avons passés 4 nuits dans une magnifique lodge au cœur de la savane. Avec vue imprenable sur la rivière et les animaux qui viennent s'y désaltérer.
Avons été chaleureusement accueillis par les deux managers des lieux. Tout au long du séjour le personnel a été prévenant, soucieu de nos besoins et de notre confort.
Tous les Massaï nous ont permis de voir des choses incroyables à l'intérieur du camp. Merci à Julius et aux autres...
Et comment ne pas parler de Félix notre guide et de Abby notre chauffeur. Si l'expérience safari est déjà magique à elle seule, la présence de Félix et Abby à rendu ce séjour inoubliable. Félix est un puit de connaissances et il a, malgré notre anglais médiocre, su nous apprendre énormément de choses sur les animaux et la savane. Lui et Abby ont vraiment tout fait pour que nous puissions voir le plus d'animaux possible.
Nous nous attentions à ce que ce voyage soit magique, mais grâce à eux il a dépassé toutes nos attentes et à été inoubliable.
Nous reviendrons.

Bungalow con terrazza in riva al fiume, circondata di notte da decine di ippopotami che vengono a dormire sulla spiaggia adiacente. Vista su elefanti e coccodrilli. Bella struttura per ristorante e bar, con vista sulla savana. Buoni cibo e servizi.

Für mich schönste Lodge der Foxes Safari Camps. Direkt am Ruaha River (vielfach mehrheitlich trocken) grosse "Bandas" mit Fluss Sicht-Terrasse. Tierbeobachtungen vom Zimmer aus.

Excellent Camps

A rude, run-down rip-off. Would advise against visiting. Cold water, average food, difficult booking and payment process.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we are very sorry that Katavi Wildlife Camp was disappointing for you. It is extremely difficult to operate such a remote camp (2 days drive from Dar es Salaam) in the midst of a global pandemic, with, as you point out, an empty camp for much of the time. You arrived at camp without a booking, so no preparations could be made in advance, and no supplies of fresh produce could be obtained. It is highly unusual for guests to arrive without a prior booking at such a remote location, and normally all payments are done with the reservation office and the manager would not be involved in any of this. I have re read the messaging thread pertaining to your stay and refute the claim that you were made to wait 5 hours to find out if you could stay. There is a message logged at 13:55 advising us that you had arrived at camp and wanted to stay, and the reply to confirm that you could stay as you had already arrived and no other camps were open, was sent at 13:58. At 1606 I can see a confirmation that you had already been sent a payment link but were out on a game drive and not waiting in camp. Payment was not made until the following day. The pool is not a shared pool for the camp, but part of the suite, with the lack of bookings the normal pool management is unviable. I apologise if you were given this room to stay in, instead of one the the tents without a pool, bearing in mind its poor state. Unfortunately, there is a global collapse in tourism, which has crippled the ability of operators to maintain camps and keep a full quota of staff without income. We kept the camp open with a skeleton staff, to keep them in work and to honour existing bookings (for which we sent in additional staff and supplies). We accept that it was a mistake to offer you accommodation in the only camp open in Katavi and will certainly learn from our mistakes.

The location of the lodge is perfect! Overlooking the ocre tinted plains of the dry season, just before the rains started. Not luxurious but a luxury to have such comfortable, well designed, spacious, clean, well maintained tents! Beds and linen were clean and not synthetic, we had solar heated warm water and functioning showers. The game drives were phenomenal, driver and guide extremely knowledgeable. We had the chance to watch a espetacular thunderstorm during one night. The sunsets are out of photo books and films.
The lodge makes an enormous effort, and succeeds, in offering a variety of dishes prepared with care from regional produce. Portions are copious. The lodge’s team could not be better! Smiley, attentive and courteous! Well organised! We were in awe! The team is multi task and answer to your questions or immediately address a colleague. We hardly heard “I do not know or this is not my job “ . Whatever small details we could mention have been shared with the concerned person... very receptive

Die Aussicht vom Restaurant auf dem Fels oberhalb der Lodge ist grandios.
Foxes bietet hier ein perfektes Zusammenspiel. Unsere Kunden lieben diesen Platz, ich auch!
