Accomodation
Chitabe Lediba has just five secluded tented chalets, set on low decks and shaded by large trees. Each has a veranda at the front kitted out with comfortable chairs, a couple of footstools and a table. From here, double doors lead into the bedroom, with polished dark-wood floors and rattan rugs. The décor is smart and airy, but not overdone. Comfortable beds (or, in the honeymoon room, a four-poster) sit under a mosquito net, and are flanked by bedside tables with reading lamps. A writing desk plays host to stationery, magazines and bottled water, and the adjacent strip of universal plugs is handy for charging batteries – though not suitable for hairdryers. A ceiling fan and standing fan help to keep the tent cool and the mosquitoes at bay, while meshed windows enable a cooling breeze to flow through.

Dining
The open dining area and lounge are shaded under a high thatched roof. An open hexagonal teak deck also offers space to relax with unimpeded views of the animals that frequent the camp, including the occasional close-up of an enormous elephant.
Recreation
Both camps at Chitabe offer guests game drives in open 4x4 vehicles during the day and at night accompanied by an experienced guide, as well as nature walks. Chitabe is strictly a game viewing area - no water activities are offered here.
Typically guests leave for a game drive in the morning and again in the afternoon, returning usually after dark to take advantage of the many more elusive nocturnal animals often seen here. The two camps utilize the same game drive areas, so the game viewing experience is identical at the two camps.
