Hidden within the southern fingers of the Okavango Delta, Chitabe Lediba is a safari gem known for its intimate setting and high predator density. Situated on a private concession bordering Moremi Game Reserve, this secluded camp offers front-row seats to one of Botswana’s most electrifying wildlife theatres—where lion prides patrol, leopards stalk silently, and painted dogs dash through the floodplains in coordinated hunts.

What makes Chitabe Lediba special is its balance of wilderness and warmth. While the game-viewing is world-class, the camp remains small and personal, often favored by families and couples seeking both adventure and comfort. It’s not just the big cats that steal the show—you’ll also encounter elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, wild dogs, and dozens of bird species darting between riverine forests and open savanna.

🌿 What Sets Chitabe Lediba Apart?

Famous for reliable predator sightings, especially wild dogs and leopards

Nestled in a diverse habitat mix—floodplains, woodlands, and seasonal marshes

Smaller and quieter than its sister camp (Chitabe Main), allowing for more intimate experiences

A top choice for wildlife photographers and naturalists due to its unique positioning


🛶 Activities You Can Enjoy

Morning and evening game drives in custom safari vehicles

Birdwatching along papyrus-lined channels and riverbanks

Learn tracking techniques from guides trained in traditional bush skills

Relax at the camp’s ledge overlooking a seasonal waterhole, where animals often gather


📍Tips for Your Visit

Access is via charter flight, typically from Maun or another Delta airstrip

Best time to visit: May to October (dry season) for clearer trails and animal concentration

Pack neutral-colored clothing, a good zoom lens, and binoculars

Chitabe Lediba is not just a camp—it’s a curated window into the wild heart of Botswana. Whether you're watching lions at sunset or listening to hippos grumble at night, every moment here feels intimate, immersive, and unforgettable.
