Camp Okavango

Nestled deep within the pristine heart of the Okavango Delta, Camp Okavango offers an exclusive sanctuary for the discerning traveller. This eco-sensitive lodge ensures an intimate connection with nature while accommodating only twenty-four guests to guarantee a serene atmosphere. Eleven Safari suites and one spacious Family suite sit on raised wooden platforms beneath the lush vegetation, each featuring en-suite bathrooms with double vanities, dual showers, and a private water closet. Sliding stack-away doors open onto private viewing decks that overlook the endless waterways of the delta.

The main camp connects through a network of walkways to two lounge areas, a dining room, library, self-service bar, and curio shop. Guests can relax by open-air fire pits on the lower deck or enjoy the rim-flow swimming pool on the upper terrace. This is not a traditional land-based safari. Instead, the experience revolves around the water. Expert guides navigate the meandering channels in modern motorboats or traditional mokoro canoes, allowing you to witness the wildlife in its natural habitat. Bush walks, birding, and angling for bream and tiger fish round out the adventure. For those seeking an unforgettable night, the sleep-out deck offers a comfortable bed under the stars.

The Camp Okavango safari experience is defined by the rhythm of the water rather than the engine of a vehicle. Guided by experienced professionals, guests embark on journeys through the delta’s intricate waterways. You may glide silently in a traditional mokoro dugout canoe, or travel in comfort aboard a modern motorboat. The pace is relaxed and immersive, allowing you to observe wildlife from the water’s edge. For a more terrestrial perspective, guided bush walks take you onto the nearby islands to track larger land species. The guiding style is knowledgeable and unobtrusive, fostering a deep appreciation for the ecosystem. Evenings are spent on the decks, listening to the sounds of the bush while enjoying the open-air atmosphere.
