Katavi Wildlife Lodge

Katavi Wildlife Lodge

Katavi

Nestled on the outskirts of the Katisunga plain, Katavi Wildlife Camp seamlessly blends into the fringes of the surrounding woodland, offering one of the most spectacular vistas in the park. Animals, both predators and their prey, must parade past the camp on their daily commute to drink in the nearby Katuma River - making this the perfect observation point for some of the most dramatic wildlife encounters.

Accommodation is made up of six spacious Meru-style mosquito-proof tents, which all offer direct and picturesque views of the plain, and each tent is constructed on an elevated wooden platform, providing shade from the noonday sun, and with a classic thatched roof. All tents are equipped with private en-suite facilities, and boast an expansive veranda complete with a comfortable hammock and seating area. There are 2 additional family tents plus a honeymoon tent.

Game drives don't need to go far, as the wildlife is in such great abundance close to the camp and whether from the veranda of your tent, on a game drive or from the elevated viewing lounge, you'll have the privilege of witnessing predators alongside the plains game during daylight hours. And in the evenings, brace yourself for the spectacle of predators in pursuit as the game retreats to the safety of the trees.

Meals are served in a comfortable and welcoming main lodge which also has a cosy bar and viewing deck.

To see how to combine this lodge on a safari circuit, visit our Safaris page and the Southern Circuit National Park pages.

You’ll find a swimming pool, a fabulous rooftop terrace restaurant with views of the bay and the bar is a great place to enjoy traditional music when there’s a visiting band. There are a range of health and beauty treatments available. Local sightseeing can be arranged with the hotel if you want to explore. 

The rooms are decorated in authentic style and are all air-conditioned with television, WiFi, room safe, minibar as well as tea and coffee making facilities.

Stone Town

The hotel sits on the shores of Lake Duluti in Tanzania and offers a blend of tranquillity and authentic African hospitality. Located just outside the bustling town of Arusha, it serves as an ideal gateway to Tanzania’s famous northern safari circuit, which includes destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro. 

The hotel is set in beautifully landscaped gardens, surrounded by lush coffee plantations, and enjoys stunning views of Lake Duluti. The hotel’s 42 rooms are stone cottages that are spread across the grounds, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion. Each room is tastefully decorated, with a television, a safe, tea and coffee-making facilities and Wi-Fi, all with a balcony or terrace that overlooks the lake or gardens.

You can enjoy a range of activities. The serene setting of the lake offers canoeing, birdwatching, and nature walks, where you can explore the surrounding forest and spot a variety of bird species and other wildlife. For those looking to unwind, the hotel’s beautifully maintained gardens and outdoor pool provide a peaceful spot to relax and soak in the natural beauty. There’s a restaurant and bar for those sundowners.  The hotel is a great stop either pre or post-safari.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
