Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

Chitabe Trails

Chitabe Trails is a dry desert-like camp at the southern end of the delta. This tiny camp is very relaxed in its feel and appealing on many levels. They specialize in walking safaris. They have 2 elevated hides that allow for star-filled sleep outs.

During rainy months, the common areas are a bit exposed to be really comfortable. The baboons in the pool make it a cramped, but necessary shared space on hot days. The outdoor showers facing the floodplain are wonderful.

The Chitabe concession is an excellent land based game experience even in typically off months.  — Mango's view

Chitabe Trails is a very comfortable 5-roomed tented camp in an enormous concession that borders the Moremi Game Reserve. The area is situated within a varied habitat of seasonally flooded grasslands, wooded acacia islands and a number of lagoons. The diversity of habitat enables guests to see a wide variety of wildlife.

Accommodation consists of 5 spacious and luxuriously appointed East African style tents that have ensuite facilities with flush toilets, and a shower and basin with hot and cold running water. Each room also has an outdoor shower which overlooks the floodplain. Unlike its sister camp, Chitabe, the rooms at Chitabe Trails are built on the ground (except for the honeymoon suite), enabling guests to experience a true "classic" tented camp.

There is a dining area, lounge and pool. The camp overlooks a waterhole where elephants and plains game often come down to drink during the day. Activities consist of game walks, and day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, accompanied by an experienced guide.

Elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, reedbuck, buffalo, impala, zebra and hippo are among the major game attractions of the area. Wild dogs are resident in the area and can be sighted - depending on the time of the year.

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 and it is this pride and loyalty that gives Chitabe its amazing atmosphere.
