Botswana Safaris: CHITABE TRAILS

Okavango ~ Vintage 5 Camp

Chitabe Trails, situated in a diverse concession bordered on three sides by the Moremi Game Reserve, is located on the same island as its sister, Chitabe Camp. It is smaller and hence perfect for those who prefer their own private camp.

Accommodation consists of five spacious East African style tents, built on raised decks and with the same luxurious interiors as Chitabe. En-suite bathrooms inside compliment the outdoor shower, which overlooks the floodplain. For families, there are two family tents, with adjoining bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms.

A dining area, lounge and pool have glorious views over the surrounding floodplains, where elephant and other game come to drink during the day. The diversity of habitat in the area ~ flooded grasslands, wooded islands and still lagoons, provides a wide variety of wildlife, such as elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, reedbuck, buffalo, impala, zebra and hippo. Wild dogs are resident in the area and are regularly sighted.

Wildlife viewing is hence the major activity at this camp, whether on walks, or day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, accompanied by an experienced guide.
