About Chitabe Camp
Chitabe Camp is situated on a beautiful island in the Okavango Delta, within a private concession bordered by the Moremi Game Reserve. The area's diverse vegetation includes mopane woodlands, floodplains, and permanent waterways, providing a rich habitat for local wildlife.
Visitors can expect to encounter healthy populations of birds and mammals, with common sightings of hippo, lion, zebra, giraffe, cheetah, and kudu.
The main camp is positioned on a raised deck, offering great views of the floodplains from the thatched dining room and bar. This elevated area allows animals to roam freely, and they often come at night to seek shelter under the walkways.
Accommodation
Chitabe features eight spacious Meru-style tents built on elevated wooden decks amongst the trees. Each tent is equipped with twin beds, en-suite facilities, and both indoor and outdoor showers.
The thatched dining area, pub, and lounge are also built on raised decks to provide superb views across the floodplain, and a pool allows guests to cool off during the heat of the day.
