Camp Chitake – Nature ways

Discover Camp Chitake, a charming stationary camp nestled near the Chitake Spring in Mana Pools National Park. The spring, a hidden treasure within the park, is vital for the diverse wildlife in the area. Flowing from the Zambezi Escarpment, the Chitake River sustains a variety of animals and serves as a focal point during the dry season. As water sources dwindle, the spring attracts a multitude of creatures, including elephants, buffalo, and an array of bird species. Predators like lions, leopards, and hyenas also frequent the area.

Camp right on the river’s edge to immerse yourself in this natural spectacle. Explore the sandstone gorge and wild woodlands, go on long walks to discover different habitats, or set up a hide near the water to observe wildlife up close. Bird enthusiasts will be delighted by the opportunity to spot over 300 bird species in the diverse landscape. Nature lovers will also find a wealth of fascinating creatures and plants, from bats and rodents to giant baobabs and unique insects. Camp Chitake offers an immersive experience for those seeking to connect with nature in its purest form.
