Walking on safari has always been regarded as one of the finest ways to get a true feeling for the African wilderness. The Chitabe Trail is set in one of the Okavango Delta's best walking areas and it offers a one-night genuine walking trail experience for those who want to get closest to nature. Guests are accompanied by an armed guide who will lead them on informative and adventurous walks through the different habitats of the Delta.

The walking trail experience allows guests to get their feet on the ground and get away from vehicles to get the real feel, touch and smell of Africa. You will walk for several hours per day at a moderate pace. There will be plenty of time for quality game viewing and birding to enjoy the wide variety of wildlife found in the Chitabe area.

The night out is spent sleeping out at one of two separate hides located in different parts of the Chitabe Reserve. Both hides accommodate guests on elevated platforms with each person sleeping under a mosquito net and the African sky above. Chemical toilets and hot bucket showers are also provided. Simple, but delicious, home-cooked meals on the open campfire are enjoyed under the stars - truly a wonderful way to end an active day in the bush.

The two hides at Chitabe are located in two very contrasting habitats. One hide is situated on the edge of a floodplain that often contains water and enables one to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the Okavango as you sleep. The second hide is built within a woodland area on the edge of an extensive open savannah plain which has an abundance of elephant activity. At night, the silence, punctuated by the nocturnal sounds - the roaring lions and whooping calls of hyenas - is magical and often provides a memory that is the highlight of guests' entire safari. Guests must spend a minimum of three nights at either Chitabe Main or Chitabe Lediba, of which the middle night must be the Walking Trail.
