Wilderness Chitabe Lediba 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.
The diverse mix of Okavango and Kalahari habitats attract all manner of predators and their prey, promising excellent game-viewing year round. On a game drive, scout for giraffe, elephant and buffalo. On evening game drives see the nightlife come alive as you follow a pack of predators preparing for a hunt.
Guests can discover the land on a guided bush walk with one of our wonderful guides, who will share stories of the wildlife, fauna and flora. A day excursion to Tsodillo Hills to experience the rock art and traditional music are a must, as is a helicopter ride over this jewel of the Delta.
Chitabe supports Wild Entrust Africa, the umbrella organisation for all large predator conservation research in Botswana – including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and African wild dogs. Our local employees also benefit from life-enriching school education donations and generous profit-shares.
Watch predator-prey dynamics unfold in this iconic safari environment. Look out for cheetah, wild dog, spotted hyena and leopard, the latter often seen draped over tree branches. Find lions patrolling their territory. See elephant, giraffe, buffalo, red lechwe, tsessebe, and impala up close on game drives, or on nature walks in the capable hands of our knowledgeable, professional guides.
Birdwatching is excellent, including swamp nightjar, African scops owl, Bennet’s woodpecker, rufous-bellied heron, Verreaux’s eagle-owl and southern ground hornbill.
