Serengeti in Secret Season
Chada Katavi has always been wild
Katavi is a wild place. We often get elephant passing through camp - it's as if people are very much the visitors to a place belonging to the animals. That's why we love it.

"We both so hope that Nomad can resist the increasing demand ...for smarter, glitzier camps, and keep the mobile camp just as it is: for us, it is perfectly in keeping with the bush, and added immeasurably to our enjoyment. "

Wild Safari: Green Season Chimping at Greystoke Mahale
Out of season and off the map in remote Western Tanzania - a unique small camp on a white beach, backed up by forested mountains full of chimps. An unusual experience at the best of times, visit in green season to take advantage of few other ...
Day 1. Greystoke Mahale
- Depart Arusha on Nomad's scheduled flight to Western Tanzania, via both Serengeti & Katavi, arriving in Mahale late morning.
- Light lunch on the dhow as you head down the lake to Greystoke itself, enjoying a picnic on board. Settle into camp, swim or loosen up with a short walk in the forest followed by sundowners looking across Lake Tanganyika to the Congo beyond.
Day 2. Greystoke Mahale
- As news comes in from the trackers, head off into the forest after a leisurely breakfast in search of your first group of chimps. As well as time spent watching the chimps as they play, groom and possibly even hunt, you should see other forest game as well as amazing birds, butterflies and plants.
- Treks can be lengthy but you'll usually return to camp for lunch, a siesta or swim. Late afternoon might see you head out for a spot of ...
Day 3. Greystoke Mahale
- You'll be able to spend time chimp trekking on each full day you're in Mahale. In addition there'll be the chance to swim, fish in the lake, kayak or just head up to one of the amazing waterfall pools in a quiet corner of the forest. This is a place for healthy activity and relaxation, both!
- The chill-out deck of your room is perfect for an afternoon with a book or just to ponder the view of Lake Tanganyika and the endless horizon. ...
Day 4. Greystoke Mahale
- A last trip into the forest followed by sundowners & sashimi on the dhow and dinner on the beach under a ceiling of stars. Meals at Greystoke are healthy and substantial - and always a small miracle given how far away you are from the nearest shop.
- Greystoke's rustic charm is other-worldly. Canopied beds, walls of old dhows rescued from the shoreline, a view of the canopy from your hot shower, books, games and plenty of opportunity to ...
Day 5. Depart
- Depart camp after breakfast for the return dhow trip to the airstrip and your onward flight from Mahale.
