This is the sister camp to Chitabe Camp and is located on the opposite side of the same island. Both belong to the Wilderness Safaris portfolio. Slightly smaller than its sister, the camp consists of five large canvas tented rooms, all tastefully decorated and complete with ensuite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, and viewing decks that provide stunning views over the surrounding area. The camp has two large family rooms which are perfect for smaller children, with sleeping areas closely connected.
This camp has a small yet beautifully constructed communal area. The dining room and bar area provide beautiful views over a watering hole where lions can often be seen in the evenings.

Personal Thoughts on Chitabe Lediba
Chitabe Lediba is the smaller, quieter sibling to Chitabe Camp, sharing the same 22,000-hectare concession and the same wild dog and predator reputation. Both camps are owned by Dave and Helene Hamman, who’ve held the concession since the early 1990s — Wilderness Safaris runs the operations and marketing, but it’s very much the Hammans’ camp in character, right down to their own wildlife photography on the walls. It’s a perfectly solid choice — the intimacy of just five tents suits families or small groups who want privacy, and the wildlife access is genuinely the same as its bigger sister camp. It’s cheaper than it’s sister camp Chitabe. It’s a good choice if you’re travelling with kids, but if not, Chitabe offers extra for not that much more.
