Safari tents
A tented base in remote western Tanzania.
Safari tents overlooking the Katisunga plains in Katavi, with a relaxed main lounge and broad views of the surrounding wilderness.
A place to pause. A little room to breathe.

SPACE TO PAUSE. ROOM TO BREATHE.
Mbali Mbali Katavi Lodge places the stay beside the Katisunga plains, with safari tents and a camp lounge in a remote western setting. The appeal is the chance to spend longer with a single landscape rather than move rapidly between several parks.
Access and camp operation vary with the season. Build the stay around confirmed air or road connections and allow the length of the visit to justify the journey into this less frequently visited part of Tanzania.
