Wilderness Chitabe’s location places it at the heart of a complex and beautiful mosaic of habitats, and this diversity results in Wilderness Chitabe being one of the most storied of all Botswana’s areas. Experienced, passionate guides are inspired by the intricate and dynamic landscapes to deliver wildlife experiences few other locations can match.
Eight elevated, meru-style guest tents provide the perfect human habitat, while a stroll along the elevated walkways connecting them to the main area is a safari experience in itself. Day and night drives, and guided walks, showcase the varied wildlife and landscapes of the Okavango.
Beyond the impressive wildlife encounters, guests can look forward to an elevated culinary journey which highlights the flavours of the Delta. The camp’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its eco-conscious design to its light “food-print” and operational ethos, with solar power, sustainable cooling systems, and conservation initiatives woven into its daily operations.
INSIDER'S TIP: Learn more about the African wild dog packs of the area; if you’re lucky you’ll see some of these endangered carnivores.
Set on a beautiful tree island on a private concession, Wilderness Chitabe offers an exceptional blend of creativity and comfort, perfectly suited to the extreme temperature swings of the Okavango Delta: spacious tents feature innovative cooling systems, and offer sweeping views across the floodplains. Interiors draw from organic textures and earthy tones, while the guiding – as ever – is world-class.
Each tent has been individually curated to enhance the tent experience, the suites feature insulated canvas walls and roofs, creating a “coolbox” environment that maintains a light, airy feel. Stretch tents overhead provide shade while adding elegant, sweeping lines to the architecture. Thoughtful lighting enhances the ambiance throughout the day, while aged brass, wood, and textured wallpaper in the bathrooms add to the organic aesthetic. The spacious interiors have high ceilings, twin beds with en-suite facilities comprising indoor/outdoor showers, large insect-proof mesh openings, and private shaded decks opening to horizon-wide Delta views.
The personalised touch and impeccably styled tented accommodation is strongly influenced by Helene and Dave Hamman, whose renowned photographic artwork of African wild dogs, and big cats adorns the walls. Wilderness Chitabe’s warm, generous and loyal staff complete the perfect guest experience.
