CHITABE
Classic Wilderness Camp
Chitabe is situated in a private area in the south-east of the Okavango, on one of the most beautiful islands in the Delta.
It has all the Okavango scenery with open floodplains, waterways, marshlands, dry acacia, mopane woodland, riverine areas and open grasslands. This variety of habitats creates an abundance of wildlife to be seen, including elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, reedbuck and impala. Wild dogs are also occasionally sighted. Night drives provide opportunities for guests to see nocturnal creatures such as civet, serval, genet, pangolin, porcupine and aardwolf.
Chitabe’s eight spacious East African-style tents are built on elevated wooden decks amongst the trees. Each tent has twin beds, en-suite facilities and indoor as well as an outdoor shower. The thatched dining area, pub and lounge area are built on raised decks to provide superb views across the floodplain, and a pool allows guests to cool off in the heat of the day.
Activities include day and night game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, nature walks and spectacular birdwatching. Chitabe also has two elevated hides located in the reserve, where guests can experience a “sleep out” under the stars in full comfort and safety.
