Chitabe Camp
Chitabe Camp (pronounced Chitaabee)
is a luxurious 16-bedded, tented safari camp built on one of the
most beautiful islands in the Okavango Delta, in a private area
that is bordered on three sides by the Moremi Game Reserve. Access
into this area is only by aircraft. Chitabe is located in a 28000
hectare photographic reserve alongside the Moremi Game Reserve.
The area is surrounded by waterways and lagoons that harbour a wonderful
variety of wildlife. Accommodation at Chitabe consists of eight
spacious East African style tents that are built on elevated wooden
decks, beneath the lush tree canopy. Each tented room has en suite
facilities with flush toilets, and a shower and basin with hot and
cold running water. 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
at Chitabe consist of day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles
accompanied by an experienced guide. Shorter nature walks are sometimes
offered. Chitabe game viewing is good, and includes buffalo, elephant,
lion, leopard, reedbuck, lechwe, impala, zebra, and hippo. Wild
dogs are also sometimes sighted. Night drives can be very rewarding
with good sightings of the rarer nocturnal animals.
