Chitabe Walking Trails Hide

You will meet your guide and begin the walking trail. You will be accompanied by an armed and licensed "accredited" walking guide who will take them on the informative and adventurous walk through the grasslands and woodlands of the Okavango Delta. The walk is approximately 3 to 4 hours in the morning to a pre-prepared brunch site. Relax and siesta during the heat of the day. In the afternoon walk an hour and a half to the hide, where your sundowner awaits. Dinner is served under the stars. Retire that evening on the elevated hide platform.

The two hides at Chitabe are located in very different habitats. One hide is situated on the edge of a floodplain which often contains water and enables one to see the wet side of the Okavango and the other hide is within the woodland on the edge of an extensive pan system, which often sees an abundance of elephant activity. The walking trail experience allows guests to get their feet on the ground and really feel, smell and touch Africa. We will walk for several hours a day, but it is not a strenuous walk and can be enjoyed by almost all guests. The absolute silence, except for the nocturnal sounds of the Okavango's insects and wildlife which one can experience by sleeping "out in the bush" is a magical one that all guests will mark as one of the highlights of their African safari. The following evening is spent in a different hide in the Reserve. Guests can spend one or two nights in the walking trails on a total of a three night stay at Chitabe.
