Chitabe Camp

Okavango Delta


Near the Santandadibe River, at the southern edge of Moremi Game Reserve, Chitabe is an island oasis (only accessible by boat or plane). Accommodation at Chitabe Camp is in East African–style luxury tents, which have bathrooms and are built on wooden decks and sheltered beneath the shade of a lush canopy.

Chitabe is renowned for the presence of African wild dogs and other iconic wildlife, including leopards, lions and cheetahs – the Chitabe concession is widely considered among the elite delta safari destinations. It's this combination of stunning wildlife and supremely comfortable places to sleep, as well as the usual high standards of service we've come to expect from Wilderness, that make this a brilliant choice.
