Attractions
Chitabe has been operational since 1997, has
developed an outstanding reputation and has
the classic Okavango scenery. Elephant, Buffalo,
Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dog are among
the major game attractions of the area. You
could also see Zebra, Reedbuck, Red Lechwe,
Sitatunga and Sable, Roan and Impala. The
variety of woodland habitats around Chitabe
support good population of Buffalo and Elephant.
A secluded hide in front of the camp offers
you a relaxing spot to view the wildlife at
your leisure. A portion of the accommodation
charges from each guest goes towards a wild
dog conservation fund which Chitabe has established.
Dr Tico McNutt began the wild dog research
project in 1989, with a study area of about
3000 square kilometres. About 160 wild dogs
in ten to twelve packs inhabit this region.
Chitabe is part of this study area.
Facilities
Chitabe offers eight luxurious, twin~bedded,
East African style tents, built on elevated
wooden decks under a lush canopy of indigenous
trees. Each luxury tent has en suite facilities
with hot and cold running water. A separate
thatched dining room, pub, lounge and pool
area is linked by raised walkways. The raised
decks offer superb views over the open floodplain
in front of the camp.
Additional Information
Chitabe offers you game walks and day and
night drives in open 4x4 vehicles, as well
as mokoro (dug-out canoe) excursions on the
scenic waterways of the Okavango
Delta. Combine these activities with the
diversity of habitat and Chitabe is the ideal
``all in one camp`` in the Okavango.
