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.
