SAFARI

WILDEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE IN ZIMBABWE

Located alongside the world famous Chitake Springs, Chitake Mobile Camp offers a remarkable wildlife experience with big game, including buffalo and lion. During the dry season, the Chitake River transforms into a sandy riverbed, leaving behind a small spring as the sole water source for miles. As a result, diverse wildlife flocks to the active spring in the dry season. The region is known for lions hunting buffalo with an almost guarantee of a wild sighting. At Chitake, nature walks reveal the first animal sightings in the morning, while afternoons offer the thrill of observing an array of game quench their thirst for hours from a nearby cliff. This awe-inspiring area in Mana Pools is truly exceptional.

THE CAMP

 

Nestled along the banks of Chitake Riverbed, the camp offers an unparalleled, immersive, and exclusive experience, accommodating a mere six guests at any given time. Each tent is extremely simple but features spacious beds, a bedside table and paraffin lamps. The camp exudes a charming ambiance. Food is made on the fire with alfresco-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by a dedicated private chef. Powered solely by solar energy, the camp embraces sustainability while deliberately disconnecting from the online world, offering guests a much-needed respite from the demands of modern life.
