"Chitabe Camp review"
Friendly staff, one lunch was served outside in the field at a nice place." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana
"Chitabe Camp review"
Our guide, Luke, was a very nice man, but not top notch - we were sorry we didn't get Dook or O.D. The best sightings of all 3 camps we visited." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia
"Chitabe Camp review"
However, we felt our guide there was not as skilled as he could have been. He seemed to struggle to follow wildlife tracks.
Our best experience there was seeing Hyena cubs with there mother. However, these animals were discovered by another guide." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe
"The best overall safari experience"
"Loved Chitabe"

As we have told everyone, it was outstanding." See all these reviews: 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Chitabe Camp excellent experience"
As expected the game drives were the highlight. The morning drive went for about 5 hours and the evening about 3 hours which was fantastic. We saw a wide range of animals, the highlight being the wild dogs hunting which we saw twice. Plenty of leopards and some lions but no cheetah or hyena. Our guide Gordon was excellent and knowledgeable. The small number of game vehicles in the concession and the ability to go off road to follow animals made the experience much more personal.
I would also like to mention Thompson the Chitabe Camp Manager whose genuine friendliness and detailed knowledge of Botswana and the Delta increased our enjoyment. We felt two days was about the right length of time before moving to another camp." See all these reviews: 4n in Botswana
"Chitabe Camp review"
The drives are 'full-on' but then we saw so much too, including a leopard on two occasions and two prides of lions." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa
"An absolute gem"
Each drive produced a surprise, from our only cheetah to a leopard making a kill and feeding her cub. Bush buck and monkeys move between the tents and we were woken on our last morning by an elephant snoring behind us.
The only negative comment was that the food was good but not great. This is however a camp that I would very much enjoy going back to. Absolutely the right way to finish the safari." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Chitabe Camp Safari"
The Land Rover trips were long and very bumpy at times but the rewards at the end of each run were spectacular. We thought the Lions and Leopards were thrilling but when or guide found a Cheetah, words cannot describe our excitement." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Chitabe Camp review"
It was a very comfort6able camp and perhaps the most luxurious of all three camps." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
