Chitabe Safari Camp
Botswana Chitabe Safari Camp is a luxurious 16 bed tented camp in an enormous private concession which is bordered on three sides by the Moremi Game Reserve. In the east is the Gomoti Channel and the Santantadibe River in the west. The area is surrounded by waterways and lagoons, where a variety of wildlife can be seen. The camp itself is situated in one of the most beautiful islands in the Delta. |

Surrounded by ancient ebony, leadwood and sausage trees, Chitabe's
accommodation consists of 8 spacious East African styled tents that are built on elevated
wooden decks below the tree canopy. Each tented room at Chitabe has en-suite facilities with flush toilets, shower and basin with hot and cold running water. The dining area, lounge and pub are also on raised decks with views over the surrounding floodplains. Attractive raised walkways connect each tented room with the main lodge and living area. Activities consist of day and night game drives in open 4X4 safari vehicles accompanied by an experienced guide and mokoro trips on the waterways. Chitabe Safari Camp offers a wide variety of African Wildlife including lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, hippo, sitatunga, lechwe, zebra and wild dogs. A secluded hide offers guests a relaxing spot to view game at their leisure. Chitabe Camp and Chitabe Trails Camp offers a two night Chitabe Walking Trail experience for those who want to be closest to nature. Guests will be accompanied by an armed and licensed "accredited" walking guide who will take them on the informative and adventurous walk through the grasslands and woodlands of the Okavango Delta. The party will sleep out at two of the hides which are located in the Chitabe concession. Both hides accommodate guests on elevated platforms and each guest will sleep in the hide under a mosquito net, but still being able to gaze up towards the spectacular African night sky. Long drop toilets and hot bucket showers will provide the ablution facilities. Dinners at the hide will be home cooked style meals on the open camp fire. Beautifully appointed dining tables and chairs will help complete the dining experience.
The two hides at Chitabe Camp
are located in very different habitats. One hide is situated on the edge
of a floodplain which often contains water and enables one to see the wet
side of the Okavango and the other hide is within the woodland on the edge
of an extensive pan system, which often sees an abundance of elephant
activity. The walking trail experience allows guests to get their feet on
the ground and really feel, smell and touch Africa. We will walk for
several hours a day, but it is not a strenuous walk and can be enjoyed by
almost all guests. The absolute silence, except for the nocturnal sounds
of the Okavango's insects and wildlife which one can experience by
sleeping "out in the bush" is a magical one that all guests will mark as
one of the highlights of their African safari. Guests can spend the first
and/or their last night back at Chitabe Camp or
