Wilderness Chitabe Lediba

Wilderness Chitabe Lediba is the smaller sister camp to Chitabe Camp and is located along the Moremi Game Reserve within the breath-taking Okavango Delta. It is the perfect safari destination for small groups and families to enjoy an unforgettable bush experience. The camp is named after the ‘lediba’ within its bounds – a lagoon that has now become a watering hole for the abundance of wildlife that populates this beautiful space. The Okavango Delta is known for its richly diverse eco-systems that include a multitude of fauna and flora. The mosaic of grasslands, waterways, floodplains and woodlands all blend together to create a kaleidoscope of colour and incredible wildlife.

The camp boasts five spacious, Meru-style tents that are perched in the shady treetops and provide panoramic views of the extensive delta. The two-family units provide the ideal space for families with interleading bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms making it the perfect amalgamation of luxury and a traditional safari setting. The lounge, sparkling pool and dining area at the main camp are inviting spaces that beckon guests and encourage maximum relaxation. Enjoy the delicious meals that are prepared on a daily basis between the brilliant game drives where close encounters with extraordinary wildlife can be savoured and enjoyed. This area is known for its high number of endangered dogs along with a variety of other animals such as lions, cheetahs, elephants and buck. The small and intimate size of Chitabe Lediba Camp allows for an extensive and exclusive bush experience.

About the Chitabe Concession

The Chitabe Concession is 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. What makes Chitabe unique to some of the other areas in the Okavango Delta is that it contains such a variety of habitats within close proximity. A finger of perennial swamps extends into the Chitabe reserve, which is inundated by water throughout the year. The area is also dominated by seasonally flooded areas which transform 56% of the concession from dry floodplains into a lush oasis when the annual floodwaters meander through. This variety of habitat, which ranges from the classic Okavango scenery with Ilala Palms dotting the landscape, to open savannahs and acacia woodlands, gives rise to a surprising diversity of species, which allows Chitabe to offer guests a wide variety of game viewing and birding experiences.

Chitabe is well known for its predator concentrations of cheetah, lion, leopard and wild dog and because we can offer night-drives, seeing the elusive nocturnal animals such as aardvark and pangolin is a treat.
