Panoramic views of the Katisunga Plains greet arriving guests at Mbali Mbali Katavi Lodge, set at the heart of Tanzania’s third largest reserve: the Katavi National Park. Located in central Tanzania, Katavi is also one of the least visited reserves in the country – despite its reputation for wildlife – which means you can look forward to uninterrupted views and game sightings during your visit.
Mbali Mbali Katavi provides a comfortable and well-appointed base from which to head out on day and night game drives with expert guides. The general wildlife in Katavi is very good. Indeed, it is claimed that the park is the most bio-diverse in Africa and it certainly has a reputation for the heavyweight species – lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo, and crocodile – which gather in increasing numbers at water sources in the dry season (about May to October).
A small camp with only eight suites, Mbali Mbali Katavi Lodge has a relaxed, subtle, and informal atmosphere and would suit experienced safari travelers looking for an off-the-beaten-path destination that combines experience with comfort and convenience. The camp’s suites also include a four-sleeper unit – good news for adventurous families with older children – and modern touches include battery charging stations and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Highlights
Activities
This camp offers exceptional service & a great location - the Katsunga floodplain - that offers exceptional game viewing near the camp.
Rooms
Safari Tent Twin
Set on a wooden platform and with a thatched roof, the uncluttered and spacious rooms feature traditional carved Zanzibari beds and polished wooden floors with electric lighting provided via solar power. You have a sofa on the veranda to sink into and enjoy the view, as well as the comfort of a private en suite bathroom complete with shower, sink, and flush toilet.

Facilities
The main communal building at Mbali Mbali Katavi is raised off the ground and offers fine views from both its comfortable chairs and the large swimming pool. A choice of indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas are available depending on the weather, and you will be able to recharge batteries in the main lodge and also enjoy Wi-Fi connectivity.
There is a small reference library for you to use as well as a bar stocked with local and imported drinks; the complimentary laundry service is a nice touch.
Dining
Emphasizing on taste and wholesomeness rather than haute cuisine, the meals at Mbali Mbali Katavi Lodge are served at individual tables at the main camp. Breakfast may be taken with you as a packed box if you are heading out early on a game drive, or served at camp later.
Lunch is another meal that you may take with you on a drive or sit down to at camp after an activity. Dinner is a grand three-course plated meal served by candlelight, although twice a week the camp serves a traditional under-the-stars barbeque. Special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher can be catered for, as long as the camp is notified at the time of booking.
