Exploring Chitake Springs

The Chitake Springs area holds many secrets, let your guide show them all to you. The landscape is dotted with ancient Baobab trees, many of them hollow inside. The Zambezi escarpment is a fitting backdrop to the vast expanse of views. The game viewing around the Chitake Springs is great, and photo opportunities are excellent. Sunset by the sacred baobabs is a great way to end the day.

Chitake Springs

The Chitake Campsite is set overlooking the Chitake River, the natural spring keeps the river flowing in the dry season which draws many thirsty animals into the valley. There are many great spots to view the abundance of animals. Sometimes the easiest spot is from our comfortable campsite. We'll have some great vantage points to view animals from as the sun sets.
