Chitabe is situated in a private concession area on an island in the south-east of the Okavango Delta. Playing host to a breathtaking mosaic of open floodplains, waterways, marshlands, dry acacia and mopane woodland, riverine forest and open grasslands, the area is famed for its incredible numbers and diversity of wildlife, in particular predators.
Chitabe’s commitment to ecotourism includes a variety of projects ranging from research and monitoring programmes to education and social upliftment projects. Chitabe is also committed to raising the living standards of its employees to ensure that the whole family is raised out of poverty. As such, Chitabe won a Silver medal in the “Poverty Reduction” category at the African Responsible Tourism Awards 2016.

Chitabe is located in the Chitabe Concession, which covers 22 000 hectares of pristine Okavango Delta wilderness. This unique area harbours a massive variety of habitats within close proximity giving rise to a surprising diversity of species. The mix of Okavango and Kalahari makes for an excellent home to an abundant array of herbivores: giraffe, buffalo, red lechwe, tsessebe, impala and elephant, which in turn support the larger predators: lion, leopard, spotted hyaena, cheetah and wild dog.
The Chitabe Concession’s total bird population is estimated at 345 species, comprising both resident and migratory birds, and varying throughout the year, depending on water levels and season. Raptors are abundant here and include African hawk eagle and hooded vulture, which often nests on the island or seen following packs of African wild dog in search of any scraps after a kill.
• The 28,000 hectare (69,000 acre) Chitabe Concession, situated in the south-east of the Okavango Delta, is separated from the well-known Moremi Game Reserve by the Gomoti Channel. The diversity and mix of Okavango and Kalahari habitats makes Chitabe unique and allows good concentrations of all the larger predators as well as herbivores. Chitabe is reliable for year round game and birding experiences
