Why we Love Camp Okavango

An enchanting lodge resting on Nxaragha Island at the heart of the Okavango Delta

Camp Okavango offers a unique water wilderness experience in the Okavango Delta. Guests can unwind in East African-style ensuite tents, each raised on a platform, with private viewing decks. For honeymooners, Camp Okavango boasts the “Okavango Suite”, a thatched cottage that offers complete privacy. Guest areas include a cocktail bar, spacious sitting room and charming library. The dining area leads onto an open-air patio with candle-lit candelabra that provide romantic silhouettes over sumptuous meals that boast African and International fare.

A secluded bird viewing hide and a sun deck with an inviting plunge pool offer quiet opportunities for relaxation and contemplation. Guests can laze in shaded hammocks or watch game from the elevated observation platform, with views of the tranquil floodplains nearby. Adventures include exploring the Okavango by mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) and motorboat, guided nature walks, birdwatching, seasonal fishing and game viewing.

Activities

Water-based activities are conducted by experienced professional guides who will expertly navigate guests through the many meandering, reed-lined waterways. Roam the vast expanses of water from the comfort of a modern motorboat or explore the intricacies of the Okavango Delta the quiet old-fashioned way, in the traditional mokoro (dugout canoe).

For those wanting to get a little closer to nature, guided bush walks are conducted on a number of the nearby islands, offering an opportunity to track some of the larger land-based species that inhabit this water wilderness. Birding opportunities are outstanding and anglers may put their skill against bream and tiger fish.  Camp Okavango is a water-based camp and game-drive activities, using safari vehicles, are not possible.

Guest spending three nights or more at Camp Okavango can enjoy a night on the new Camp Okavango sleep out deck. The open deck offers you the chance to sleep out under the stars and experience the vastness of the Okavango Delta. The sleep out deck includes a comfortable bed (mosquito net included), bathroom and all the amenities you need for a comfortable night out.

Probably the best City hotel weve stayed at. Alal Gogo was particularly outstanding. He managed to arrange for us to attend the Woody Allan Band show with our guest (who is a musician) even when it had been booked out and was very courteous throughout. Thank you so muclh. A wonderful stay.
