Chitabe is situated on the Gomoti Channel across from the renowned Moremi Game Reserve.
Eight new guest tents are raised off the ground overlooking the floodplains, with walkways linking the main areas and the rooms. There is a pool that offers a refreshing escape from the heat of the day.
The area consists of diverse habitats, including open floodplains, waterways, marshlands, dry acacia and mopane woodlands, riverine forests, and open grasslands. It is home to various species, such as giraffes, buffalo, red lechwe, tsessebe, impala, and elephants. These animals, in turn, support larger predators like lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, cheetahs, and wild dogs.
We love Chitabe Camp for its game viewing. Wild dogs are often spotted here. While the wildlife numbers are not as high as in the Mara or Serengeti, this is more than compensated for by the time you can spend in an uncrowded wilderness. When you finally find a leopard, you can enjoy watching it in solitude.
Chitabe provides a classic dry-land delta experience, with consistent wildlife viewing throughout the year.
About This Area
The Okavango Delta was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. It is the world's largest inland Delta. During the flood season, waters push into Botswana from Angola, transforming the Kalahari into a lush oasis teeming with life.
The Delta is home to a wide variety of vegetation, including reed beds, papyrus swamps, and grasslands. These provide habitat for an astonishing array of wildlife, from large mammals like elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards and hippos, to crocodiles, teeny frogs, fish, and numerous bird species. It is a thriving ecosystem adapted to its seasonal fluctuations.
The water experience includes gliding silently through the Delta's channels as you are poled along in "mokoros" or canoes and exhilarating adventures in much faster motor-powered aluminium speedboats. The land experience usually occurs in open Landrovers centering around wildlife with walks in some areas.
