The essence of Chitabe Lediba is its incredible wildlife diversity, with regular sightings of predators and a range of other species. The camp's expert guides lead exhilarating game drives and walking safaris, offering close encounters with the abundant fauna.
Destination: Emporium-Safari Here Botswana’s seasonal Gomoti River brings an ebb and flow of ever-changing wildlife across a mosaic of habitats – woodlands, wetlands and grasslands – that surround the camp, delivering some of the best wildlife sightings on Earth.
Experience: The diverse mix of Okavango and Kalahari habitats attract all manner of predators and their prey, promising excellent game-viewing year round. On a game drive, scout for giraffe, elephant and buffalo. On evening game drives see the nightlife come alive as you follow a pack of predators preparing for a hunt.
Guests can discover the land on a guided bush walk with one of our wonderful guides, who will share stories of the wildlife, fauna and flora. A day excursion to Tsodillo Hills to experience the rock art and traditional music are a must, as is a helicopter ride* over this jewel of the Delta.
[*additional costs apply]
Purpose: Chitabe supports Wild Entrust Africa, the umbrella organisation for all large predator conservation research in Botswana – including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and African wild dogs. Our local employees also benefit from life-enriching school education donations and generous profit-shares.
Wildlife: Watch predator-prey dynamics unfold in this iconic safari environment. Look out for cheetah, wild dog, spotted hyena and leopard, the latter often seen draped over tree branches. Find lions patrolling their territory. See elephant, giraffe, buffalo, red lechwe, tsessebe, and impala up close on game drives, or on nature walks in the capable hands of our knowledgeable, professional guides.
Birdwatching is excellent, including swamp nightjar, African scops owl, Bennet’s woodpecker, rufous-bellied heron, Verreaux’s eagle-owl and southern ground hornbill.
Emporium-Safari Chitabe Lediba: Smaller and more intimate than sister camp Emporium-Safari Chitabe, Chitabe Lediba’s position overlooking an active waterhole creates a delightfully private atmosphere. Set on elevated decks, Emporium-Safari Chitabe Lediba’s five Meru-style tents set the tone for a quintessential African safari experience.
Nestling in the natural beauty of Chitabe Island, interconnecting walkways feature low-footprint longer spans and a more delicate-looking structure that weaves through the treeline and termite mounds – all harmonious to the natural order of Chitabe Lediba.
The dining area, lounge and pool provide a glorious vantage over the small ‘lediba’ (a remnant lagoon) for which the camp is named. Sinuous curves and soft lines guide the design of the camp, inspired by the very curves of the Okavango’s waterways.
The essence of Chitabe Lediba is its incredible wildlife diversity, with regular sightings of predators and a range of other species. The camp's expert guides lead exhilarating game drives and walking safaris, offering close encounters with the abundant fauna.

Emporium-Safari Chitabe Lediba – Game Drives
Prepare yourself for some significant predator-prey, or predator-predator, action – a wildlife photographer’s dream. Lions, leopards, African wild dogs, spotted hyaenas, and cheetahs provide almost constant unfolding drama on the floodplains, at the expense of herbivores such as buffalos, giraffes; and a host of antelope, such as tsessebe, impala, and red lechwe.
Emporium-Safari Chitabe Lediba – Night Drives
On top of the excitement of a safari experience, the advantage of evening drives is that you have a unique chance to see nocturnal wildlife at their most active. Instead of watching a big cat snooze in the sun, for example, you may be able to glimpse a pride preparing for their evening hunt and setting off into the bush for a kill. Scan the bushveld for creatures that rarely appear during the day, from aardvark, to civets, genets, bushbabies, and owls.
A walking safari is a wonderful way to explore Africa's wildlife, and these may vary from a gentle morning ramble to a longer "hike" for the more intrepid. Escorted by our enthusiastic guides, explore areas with no roads, whilst listening to bird calls, and learning about animal track identification.
Emporium-Safari Chitabe Lediba – Birding
The birdlife is excellent and varies throughout the year, depending on water levels and season. Sightings may include African hawk-eagle, ground hornbill, scarlet-chested sunbird, red-billed hornbill, gabar goshawk and red-billed francolin.
Emporium-Safari Chitabe Lediba – Dining Under The Stars
A dinner in the bush is the ultimate safari experience – join us as we toast to the day under a magical star-studded sky while listening to the evocative sounds of an African night …
