The area is constituted by a superb variety of habitats, including waterways and marshlands, dry Acacia and Mopane woodland, riverine areas, open grasslands and seasonal floodplains.
Such diverse eco-systems in turn make for a wonderful array of wildlife, including Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard and Cheetah, as well as most other species of wildlife associated with Africa. Waterways and lagoons, where a variety of wildlife can be seen, surround the area. In the east is the Gomoti Channel and the Santantadibe River in the west.
Chitabe is a luxurious 8 twin-bedded tented camp in an enormous private concession which is bordered on 3 sides by the Moremi Game Reserve. Chitabe Camp is situated on one of the most beautiful islands in the Okavango Delta, surrounded by ancient Ebony, Leadwood and Sausage trees. Located on a private concession alongside the Moremi Game Reserve, Chitabe offers classic Okavango scenery and a great Botswana safari wildlife experience.
Until recently, the private concession on which Chitabe is located was used for hunting. When the contract with Botswana's Department of Wildlife came up for renewal in the late 1990s, Dave and Hélène Hamman outbid the hunters and the concession has been turned over to photographic safaris (Dave himself has done various assignments on Wild Dogs for National Geographic).
