Okavango Delta, Botswana
Wilderness Chitabe Camp
Eight Meru-style tents in a predator hotspot
Sister camp to the Wilderness Chitabe Lediba, these eight traditional Meru tents in the Chitabe Concession occupy an island in the south-east of the Okavango Delta, providing very luxurious accommodation with a reassuring amount of space.
Suspended on stilted wooden decks amongst the riverine trees of the Chitabe concession, each tent features twin or double beds, en-suite facilities and both indoor and outdoor showers. With public spaces, such as the bar and lounge, built on raised decks, the views across the Okavango floodplain are brilliant to wake up to.
With the area at large renowned for its broad range of habitats and substantial biodiversity, both night and day game drives are the activity of choice, and where bird watching also excellent. As your game drives take place in the same area as the Wilderness Chitabe Lediba, the viewing experience is identical.
