Western Tanzania

If you are looking to get off the beaten track then Western Tanzania is a great destination. Rarely a choice for the first time safari, Katavi National Park and the Mahale Mountains National Park receive only a tiny fraction of the visitors to Tanzania’s more famous reserves. Nomad Tanzania are the champions of Western Tanzania, their Chada Katavi Camp is safari at its unadulterated best, a simple but extremely comfortable bush camp with excellent guides and everything you could possibly need to make the most of a Katavi safari. Combined with the unique Greystoke Mahale where you’ll cruise the waters of Lake Tanganyika, Africa’s deepest lake and the longest in the world, swimming in the cool waters and fishing from your dhow for sashimi to be enjoyed later with a sundowner in Big Bird, Greystoke’s famous cocktail bar.
