We stayed here 1 night and then went on safari with the owner Mr Juma. We had clean room and best view of hippos living just behind the fence. Mr Juma is a great host and the best safari guide if you want to go to Katavi National Park (highly recommend, no jeeps but plenty of wildlife). He also gave us a contact to his friend who organised great safari in Tarangiri park.

Juma is an absolute champion. Nothing is too much of an issue. Hes an excellent host and very welcoming.Staying at the Riverside Camp instead of the NP Campsites is a no brainer. The camp is about 500m away from the headquarters however classified as out of the park. Therefore the its so much cheaper.We had our own food but on some nights jumas kids cycled into the village and got us chicken and chips.The best thing in my opinion about Katavi is that you can do night drives. Juma found us a search light and we saw so many cats in the park.Its a basic Campsite but is right next to the river where your amongst hippos and crocs. Lovely hot showers and a relaxing place to be.

A nice location, bit toilets were dirty and food was not great. Expensive for what you get.

Trust worthy and friendly

A simple camp on the river we loved the place
