The two hides at Chitabe are located in very different habitats. One hide is situated on the edge of a floodplain which often contains water and enables one to experience the wet side of the Okavango and listen to its distinctive night sounds.

The other hide is set within the woodland on the edge of an extensive pan system, which generally sees an abundance of elephant activity.

Absolute silence, except for the nocturnal sounds of the Okavango’s insects and wildlife, that one can experience by sleeping “out in the bush” is magical and one that all guests will mark as a highlight of their African safari.

Everyone at Chitabe looks forward to hosting you on this adventurous and unique experience.
