The newly expanded rooms have essentially doubled in size, featuring insulated walls, ceilings, and floors, while the camp is also set to debut an innovative evaporative cooling system, perfectly blending ancient wisdom with modern technology. Using an energy-efficient process first discovered in Egypt and Persia thousands of years ago, the advanced system allows cool air to circulate across the entire room through a series of ducts and vents, ensuring that the lounge and bathroom areas are also kept comfortable. “The fresh-air cooling, especially suited to the warm, dry climate of the Delta, will help to reduce our energy consumption, while enhancing guest comfort – especially during Botswana’s warmest weeks”, added Helene.
Renowned for its exceptional wildlife encounters, Wilderness Chitabe offers guests a front-row seat to one of Africa’s most biodiverse regions. The camp’s unique location, with its varied soils, vegetation, and ecotones, creates an environment that supports one of the highest predator concentrations in all of Africa and an array of prey species year-round, providing thrilling sightings and remarkable game viewing in every season.
Guests can look forward to the same immersive Chitabe experience, now elevated to unparalleled luxury with the introduction of refined, all-new suites. While the camp’s remarkable game-viewing opportunities and warm hospitality continue to be as captivating as ever, these enhanced accommodations bring an added level of comfort and sophistication, ensuring an unforgettable stay amid the iconic landscapes of the Okavango Delta.
