CHITABE CAMP SAFARI
This 3 night Chitabe Camp Safari in Botswana's Okavango Delta is designed to be easily combined with a safari to the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve in Botswana or with the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls.
Upon arrival at Maun Airport you will be met by your pilot and escorted to the plane for your shared flight to Chitabe Camp.
On arrival at Chitabe airstrip, you will be met by your safari guide and transferred to your camp in open 4x4 vehicles.
Chitabe Camp is situated in a private concession area on a beautiful island in the south-east of the Okavango Delta. In contrast with the areas further north, this area is an fascinating mosaic of mopane and acacia bushveld, riverine forest and the perennial Delta, playing host to diverse wildlife and birds.
Chitabe Camp'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 multiplicity of habitats by which Chitabe Camp 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 at Chitabe Camp include day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, nature walks and spectacular birdwatching.
