About Chitabe Lediba Camp
Chitabe Lediba Camp, located in the Chitabe Concession, neighbours the Moremi Game Reserve in the south-east of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The Chitabe Concession covers 28,000 hectares of the widest range of habitats known in the Okavango Delta.
From savannah to tree-filled islands and floodplains, a luxury African safari at Chitabe Lediba Camp offers some of the most amazing wildlife sightings.
Chitabe Lediba Camp is smaller than its sister camp, Chitabe, and provides a more intimate experience – ideal for small groups or families. The camp features two family units with adjoining bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms.
All five spacious Meru-style tents are built on raised decks, with en-suite bathrooms that include outdoor showers offering panoramic views of the Okavango Delta.
The camp’s dining area, lounge, and pool offer a glorious vantage point over the small lediba (a remnant lagoon that has become a waterhole), from which the camp takes its name. Guests can enjoy the spectacle of wildlife coming to drink at the waterhole throughout the day from the comfort of the camp.
