Wilderness Chitabe

Nestled on a beautiful old tree-island, the Meru-style luxury tents set a quintessential African safari tone. Inside, the rich, earthy colours and African décor ground you in the bush – as do the striking wildlife photographs of Chitabe co-owner, internationally acclaimed photographer Dave Hamman.

The shared spaces, built on elevated decks, include a thatched dining area, bar, pool and lounge, and offer prime wildlife viewing. Watch elephants make their way across the channel, buffaloes grazing on the floodplain and more than likely a couple of male lions patrolling their territory.

Wilderness Chitabe is a renowned predator hotspot, ideally located on 28,000 hectares of private conservation land in the south-east of the Okavango Delta, and bordered on the north by the famed Moremi Game Reserve. Here Botswana’s seasonal Gomoti River brings an ebb and flow of ever-changing wildlife across a mosaic of habitats – woodlands, wetlands and grasslands – that surround the camp, delivering some of the best wildlife sightings on Earth.
