Room types at Chitabe Lediba
Family Accommodation
Two family units consisting of two bedrooms, each with two three quarter beds in each tent, and with their own en-suite facilities. One family unit with inter-leading indoor passage (thus, recommended for younger children), while the other family unit has an outdoor separating walkway between each of the units (more suitable for older children/teenagers). Innovative non-permanent structures feature removable concrete-free foundations, with the team’s precise design and construction methods ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Standard Twin/Double Tent(s)
The smaller and more intimate Chitabe Lediba is well-placed to create a more relaxed atmosphere. It is named after the lediba (a remnant lagoon that is now an active waterhole) in front of camp. Created by lead architects Mark Thomas and Chris Bisset, in collaboration with award-winning Henry Fagan Engineers, Chitabe Lediba’s design features sinuous curves and soft lines inspired by the graceful meandering of the Okavango waterways. Nestling in the natural beauty of Chitabe Island, the walkways feature low-footprint longer spans and a more delicate-looking structure that weaves through the treeline and termite mounds – all harmonious to the natural order of Chitabe.
Activities at Chitabe Lediba
Chitabe Lediba – Birding
The birdlife is excellent and varies throughout the year, depending on water levels and season. Sightings may include African hawk-eagle, ground hornbill, scarlet-chested sunbird, red-billed hornbill, gabar goshawk and red-billed francolin.
Chitabe Lediba – Dining Under The Stars
A dinner in the bush is the ultimate safari experience – join us as we toast to the day under a magical star-studded sky while listening to the evocative sounds of an African night …
Chitabe Lediba – Game Drives
Prepare yourself for some significant predator-prey, or predator-predator, action – a wildlife photographer’s dream. Lions, leopards, African wild dogs, spotted hyaenas, and cheetahs provide almost constant unfolding drama on the floodplains, at the expense of herbivores such as buffalos, giraffes; and a host of antelope, such as tsessebe, impala, and red lechwe.
Chitabe Lediba – Guided Nature Walks
A walking safari is a wonderful way to explore Africa's wildlife, and these may vary from a gentle morning ramble to a longer "hike" for the more intrepid. Escorted by our enthusiastic guides, explore areas with no roads, whilst listening to bird calls, and learning about animal track identification.
Chitabe Lediba – Night Drives
On top of the excitement of a safari experience, the advantage of evening drives is that you have a unique chance to see nocturnal wildlife at their most active. Instead of watching a big cat snooze in the sun, for example, you may be able to glimpse a pride preparing for their evening hunt and setting off into the bush for a kill. Scan the bushveld for creatures that rarely appear during the day, from aardvark, to civets, genets, bushbabies, and owls.
