CHITABE TRAILS CAMP DESCRIPTION

ACCOMMODATION
Chitabe Trails Camp is a very comfortable five-roomed tented camp in an enormous concession that borders the Moremi Game Reserve. The area is situated within a varied habitat of seasonally flooded grasslands, wooded acacia islands and a number of lagoons. The diversity of habitat enables guests to see a wide variety of wildlife.

Accommodation consists of five spacious and luxuriously appointed East African style tents that have en-suite facilities with flush toilets, and a shower and basin with hot and cold running water. Each room also has an outdoor shower, which overlooks the floodplain. Unlike its sister camp, Chitabe, the rooms at Chitabe Trails Camp are built on the ground (except for the honeymoon suite), enabling guests to experience a true "classic" tented camp.

There is a dining area, lounge and pool. The camp overlooks a waterhole, where Elephants and plains game often come down to drink during the day. Activities consist of game walks, and day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, accompanied by an experienced guide.

Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Reedbuck, Buffalo, Impala, Zebra and Hippo are among the major game attractions of the area. Wild Dogs are resident in the area and can be sighted - depending on the time of the year.

Access into this area is only by aircraft.

GAME VIEWING
Chitabe Trails is strictly a game viewing camp ~ no water activities are offered here. We travel out into the field in the morning and afternoon, returning usually after dark where we can often spot the shyer nocturnal animals. The game drive is in the same area as Chitabe's guests, so the game viewing experience is identical. Wildlife seen here includes Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard and Cheetah. Wild Dog are also found in the area. Guests should also see Zebra, Reedbuck, Giraffe, Kudu, Impala, and all the plains game. Night drives can be very rewarding, giving rare opportunities to view animals such as Pangolin, Civet Cat, Serval, Porcupine and Aardwolf.

ACTIVITIES
Game Drives:
• Land game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers - the camp has 1x 10-seater Land Rover, ie 8 guests in a vehicle - depending on group size two vehicles may be utilized.
• Night drives.
• Walking safaris are offered from camp.
• Hides : Two elevated platform hides are located in the reserve.
• Guests see lots of water and in years of high water levels (like 2000), Chitabe can offer mokoro safaris.
