Information
Chitabe Camp is situated in a private concession area on one of the most beautiful islands in the south-east of the Okavango Delta. Chitabe Camp is surrounded by ancient ebony, leadwood and sausage trees and offers classic Okavango scenery and an excellent wildlife experience.
Chitabe Camp is located in the Chitabe Concession, which covers 22 000 hectares of pristine Okavango Delta wilderness. This unique area harbours a massive variety of habitats within close proximity giving rise to a surprising diversity of species. The mix of Okavango and Kalahari makes for an excellent home to an abundant array of herbivores: giraffe, buffalo, red lechwe, tsessebe, impala and elephant, which in turn support the larger predators: lion, leopard, spotted hyaena, cheetah and wild dog.
Owing to its location on the periphery of the Delta, Chitabe offers exciting year-round game viewing.
