Chitabe Lediba camp is situated in the Chitabe Concession which covers 28 000 hectares of pristine Okavango wilderness. It borders the well-known Moremi Game Reserve and is nestled between two main river systems, the Gomoti to the east and the Santantadibe to the west.
The camp is intimate and private, with five tents and two family units with adjoining bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. The spacious Meru-style tents are built on raised decks with luxurious interiors; en-suite bathrooms complement the outdoor shower "with a view." A dining area, lounge and pool with glorious views over the surrounding floodplains and a small lediba (remnant lagoon that has become a waterhole), after which the camp is named. Game comes to drink from this water source often during the day.
Explore the area on morning and afternoon game drives, the evening drive usually returning after dark so as to get a chance at spotting the shyer nocturnal animals such as genet, civet, serval, porcupine and possibly aardwolf. Other wildlife seen in the area includes elephants, buffalos, lions, leopards, cheetah as well as wild dog.
What makes Chitabe unique even in the Okavango Delta is that it harbours such a variety of habitats within close proximity, ranging from classic Okavango scenery with Ilala palms dotting floodplains to open savannah and acacia woodlands. A finger of perennial swamps inundated by water throughout the year extends into the Chitabe Concession and the area is also dominated by seasonally flooded areas which transform over fifty percent of the concession from dry floodplains into a lush oasis, when the annual floodwaters meander through. All this gives rise to a surprising diversity of species, which allows Chitabe to offer guests a wide range of game viewing and birding experiences.

The smaller and more intimate Wilderness Chitabe Lediba is well-placed to create a more relaxed atmosphere. It is named after the lediba (a remnant lagoon that is now an active waterhole) in front of camp.
Nestled in the natural beauty of Chitabe Island, the walkways weaves through the treeline and termite mounds – all harmonious to the natural order – with innovatively built tents to ensure minimal environmental impact.
All tents have indoor and outdoor showers, the latter offering spectacular views of the Delta scenery.
Families are easily accommodated in two units which each sleep four comfortably. Both suites have two bedrooms with two three-quarter beds, and private en-suite bathrooms.
Families with small children will prefer the unit with an interleading indoor passage, while families with older children will enjoy the privacy of the unit with an outdoor walkway.
