Wilderness Chitabe
Eight tents on a 22,000-hectare concession between Gomoti and Moremi in the Okavango
Skip to product information
Set on a 22,000-hectare private concession in the southeastern Okavango Delta, the lodge borders Moremi Game Reserve to the north and is flanked by the Gomoti Channel to the east and the Santantadibe River to the west. Permanent water from both channels supports year-round game viewing across a mosaic of habitats: mopane woodland in the east, palm-dotted floodplains and acacia savannah in the centre, and tranquil waterways threading through wooded islands. Eight elevated tented suites stand on raised wooden platforms linked by walkways. Each tent spans 113 m² and is fitted with insulated canvas walls and ceilings, evaporative air coolers, floor-to-ceiling mesh panels, twin or double beds, an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, and a private deck facing the floodplains.
The concession is a predator stronghold. Wild dog packs den seasonally within the territory; at least 50 individual leopards have been recorded. Two resident lion prides patrol the plains, often intercepting herds of buffalo that move through the grasslands. Cheetah hunt across the open ground, targeting impala and tsessebe. Elephant, giraffe, spotted hyena, and red lechwe are seen daily. Over 400 bird species have been recorded across the Delta.
Game drives run at dawn and dusk in open 4x4 vehicles; night drives with spotlights are permitted within the concession. Guided walking safaris cross the immediate floodplain and woodland with professional guides. Mokoro excursions and motorboat trips operate seasonally on the Chitabe Channel. The lodge has a main area with a pool, a bar, a library, and secure parking. A bush gym overlooks the plains. Helicopter flights over the Delta and day trips to Tsodilo Hills can be arranged.
