Chitabe Camp

Chitabe Camp is much more luxurious than its sister Chitabe Trails with its elevated walkways between rooms and large common areas. This attracts a bit of an older crowd with the ease of access, but it's still a solid choice.

They specialize and promote walking safaris in addition to their exciting game drives. They have 2 elevated hides that allow for star-filled sleep outs. The Chitabe concession is an excellent land based game experience even in typically off months.  — Mango's view

Chitabe Camp is a luxurious 8-roomed, tented camp built on one of the most beautiful islands in the Okavango Delta. It is situated in a private area in the southeast of the Okavango Delta, which borders the Moremi Game Reserve. The Chitabe area is a combination of open floodplains, wooded islands and lagoons, which sets the scene for a wide variety of wildlife.

Each spacious East African style tent is built on elevated wooden decks beneath a lush tree canopy. Each tented room has en-suite facilities with flush toilets and both outdoor and indoor showers. Hot showers are guaranteed anytime of the day or night. The thatched dining area, lounge and pub are also raised on decks overlooking the surrounding flood plains. A pool allows guests to cool off from the heat of the day.

Activities consist of day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles accompanied by an experienced guide. Nature walks, tailor made to suit the guests, are also offered. Game viewing is good, and includes elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, reedbuck, giraffe, impala, zebra, buffalo and hippo. Depending on the time of year, wild dogs are also resident in the area. Night drives can be very rewarding, with good sightings of the rarer nocturnal animals.

One of the biggest assets Chitabe has to offer is its friendly and outstanding staff. Most of the staff working at Chitabe has been there since its inception seven years ago and it is this pride and loyalty that gives Chitabe its amazing atmosphere.
