Wilderness Chitabe Lediba is a small, intimate safari camp set within the private Chitabe Concession in the south-eastern Okavango Delta. Overlooking a productive lagoon, the camp offers exceptional predator sightings in a classic mix of floodplain, woodland and grassland habitats.
With just five tented suites, Chitabe Lediba is ideal for families or small groups seeking a private and superior Delta experience, combining outstanding wildlife viewing with a relaxed, personal atmosphere.
The Chitabe Concession is one of the Okavango Delta’s most productive wildlife areas, where seasonal floodplains, dry savannah and riverine systems converge. This diversity supports a high density of game and frequent predator interactions, making it one of Botswana’s premier safari destinations.
Chitabe Lediba sits beside a permanent lagoon that attracts wildlife throughout the day, creating constant activity around camp. Guests enjoy a traditional safari experience with game drives, guided walks and exceptional birding, all in a private and uncrowded environment.
