"Excellent chitabe camp"
Saw a wide range of animals and birds. Very comfortable and it was great walking on a board walk rather than sand.! Great food and staff. Traditional welcome was fun. The dinner in the stockade around a fire was a great evening. Battery charging in your room was convienient." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana

"Chitabe Camp review"
Another superb location, with lovely 'tents'.
Wildlife viewing, and guiding by Mo, was terrific - lots of variety in both landscape and animals. Lots of leopard, close encounters with elephants and much much more." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa
"Chitabe Camp review"
Ebe was a first rate guide and the things he found for us to see were superb. A stand off between two young leopard, hunting lion and a family of cheetah." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana

"Great leopard action at Chitabe"
We had some very expert guiding with a male leopard trying to attract the attention of a local female. When we found her she was heading in the opposite direction at some speed - fascinating.
Birds once again were spectacular." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana
"Wonderful stay"
We really liked the camp. It has been refurbished in the last couple of years and the rooms are spacious and very tasteful. One of the best things is that the rooms are quite a way apart from each other so you can't hear or see your neighbours which is nice. The bathroom area was light and clean and the outdoor shower overlooking the bush was nice and hot.
The managers were really friendly and chatty and you didn't get the feeling that making conversation with guests was a chore. Food was good and varied and it is nice to be able to help yourself to as much or as little as you want rather than having meals served already plated." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana

"Chitabe Camp review"
the food was variable in quality, although overall good and plenty of it. A better variety at dinner would improve this aspect of the camp.
We enjoyed the traditional evening. I will only serve my husband in this way the once. For those who have no idean what I am talking about, then visit Chitabe.
Our guide (Ebes) was the most respectful person we have encounterd in a long time - to us, his colleagues, his environment, animals. It was a pleasure being on drives with him. Very informative and happy to go at whatever pace we wanted.
The tent was very comfortable but housekeeping could improve a bit as the way the shower is designed makes the wooden floors very slippery to the unitiatnated.
We saw varied game and the highlight was finding the cheetah. Wild dogs and pups seen close to camp.
If there was a category of very good I would choose this overall.
[Ed: our five categories are Excellent, good, average, poor and terrible - so there's no 'very good'!]" See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana
