CHITABE

Okavango Delta

Chitabe: Our View


There is no doubt that this concession hosts some of the best game in Botswana and yet Chitabe itself is such a good price compared with elsewhere (this camp really could sell for more and still be full all year!). The rooms are just what you need and the air around camp is regarded by many safari connoisseurs as what they yearn for. Not only is the character infectious but Chitabe has to be one of the best value camps in Botswana when you compare it with its closest competitors. The standard of game viewing is always set high; you can expect quality safari. To sum it all up, we believe that Chitabe is another of Botswana’s best camps and another reason as to why we give Wilderness Safaris the title of ‘Best Botswana Tour Operator’. Top notch!

Chitabe has some of the best game viewing in Botswana and all the Wilderness Safaris guides concur. The camp is lovely and it is excellent value so we give it 4 paws.

Chitabe: The Detail


Chitabe's eight spacious Meru-style tents are built on elevated wooden decks amongst the trees. Each tent has twin beds, en-suite facilities and an indoor as well as an outdoor shower. The thatched dining area, pub and lounge area are built on raised decks to provide superb views across the floodplain, and a pool allows guests to cool off in the heat of the day.

The multiplicity of habitats by which Chitabe is surrounded means there is an abundance of wildlife to be seen, including elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, tsessebe and impala. Wild dogs are also occasionally sighted. Night drives provide opportunities for guests to see nocturnal mammals such as civet, serval, genet, porcupine and aardwolf. Activities include day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, nature walks and spectacular birdwatching. Chitabe also has two elevated hides located in the reserve, one of which is within walking distance from the camp. Guests can experience a "sleep out" under the stars in full comfort and safety.

Sandibe…..Sandibe….Sandibe. Imagine a beautiful area of the Okavango with plentiful game including all the predators and fairly regular sightings of wild dog. The location has all the settings of a superb lodge.

Little Vumbura is gorgeous little camp set on an island and well off the beaten track. This classic Wilderness Safaris camp is a favourite of ours and we have a big soft spot for using it over its big sister, Vumbura Plains. Little Vumbura only has 6 rooms whereas Vumbura Plains is made up of two, nine room camps.

Due to the camps location, on the edge of a massive island, Tubu has an advantage over the other camps in the Jao Reserve in that it has easy access to a large island and therefore can easily offer long game drives.
