A new up market lodge called Katara Lodge recently opened its doors to tourists in QENP .The lodge is situated just outside the eastern side of the park set on the edge of the hills overlooking the open savannah. It accommodates 10 guests in 5 spacious thatched luxury cottages. These cottages are partly constructed from bricks and partly canvas, combining the authentic feeling of camping in the wilderness with the spaciousness of a normal building. The main entrance to the park is 20 minutes drive away.

 This now brings the number of up market lodges in QENP to three: Mweya Safari Lodge, Jacana Safari Lodge and now Katara lodge.
