Wilderness Chitabe Lediba

Okavango Delta, Botswana

About Wilderness Chitabe Lediba

Wilderness Chitabe Lediba is an intimate, luxury safari camp nestled within the 28,000-hectare private Chitabe Concession in the southeastern Okavango Delta. This exclusive retreat, featuring only five Meru-style canvas tents, offers a warm and chummy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. Its location at the crossroads of Kalahari and Okavango habitats creates a diverse mosaic of mopane woodlands, open floodplains, and riverine forests, making it one of the most game-rich areas in Botswana. Renowned for its exceptional predator sightings, the camp provides a quintessential African safari experience focused on high-quality land-based game viewing. Guests can expect consistent, year-round wildlife encounters, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the rare African wild dog. With its small footprint and personalized service, Chitabe Lediba is an ideal choice for those seeking a private, immersive, and high-end wildlife adventure in one of Africa's most legendary wilderness regions.

Why we like it

We love Chitabe Lediba for its intimate, exclusive atmosphere and its reputation as one of the best areas in Africa for consistent, year-round predator sightings, particularly wild dogs and big cats.
