Flycatcher Camps Katavi β Outstanding Value in Tanzania's Most Remote Park
Flycatcher Camps operates the most affordable quality camp in Katavi National Park β approximately $175β190 per person sharing β and earns TripAdvisor reviews that call its value "unbeatable." One long-term Tanzania safari traveller writes: "This could not be classed as a luxury camp, but then when going to an out-of-the-way place like Katavi, who wants to spoil the experience with an over the top luxury camp. Flycatchers has everything you need and the hospitality here is exceptional. The value for money can't be understated."
Six en-suite tents set up overlooking the river with wildlife wandering freely through camp. Flycatcher also operates seasonal camps at Mahale (chimp trekking) and in the Serengeti/Ndutu area, making a complete western Tanzania circuit β Katavi, Mahale, Serengeti β possible through one operator at accessible prices. Note: TANAPA designates the campsite as "special," attracting a camping fee on top of park fees.
Accommodation
Six en-suite tented rooms overlooking the river. Wildlife through camp. Full board. Game drives and walking safaris. Seasonal operation JuneβOctober.

Flycatcher Camps is the definitive budget Katavi option β genuinely exceptional hospitality and wildlife access at a fraction of the premium camp prices. The ability to book Katavi + Mahale + Serengeti through one budget-friendly operator makes the western Tanzania circuit accessible to travellers who would otherwise be priced out. A genuinely loved camp.β The SafariBando team
