Chitabe experiences

Feel the steady beat of adrenaline as you watch a lioness stalking, almost invisible in the tawny winter grass. Listen to the greeting growls and squeals of wild dogs. Walk seasonally to view life along and in the Gomoti Channel. As you slip off to dreamland, spy an elephant feeding outside your window in the moonlight. This is Chitabe.
