How we stumbled upon Katavi

One day, when flying low over a stretch of wilderness, Nomad founders Roland and Zoe Purcell, spotted a seemingly endless herd of buffalo and so they landed nearby. Setting up camp for the night on the edge of the vast Chada plain, allowing them to explore. And the rest is history as they say.

Katavi was a beautiful park. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about not only the park ,flowers, wildlife, but also the culture of the people and government conservation and Nomads contributions to the local communities
