Camp Okavango is situated on remote Nxaragha Island in the heart of the permanent Okavango Delta, assuring a year-round water wilderness experience. 

Camp Okavango’s unashamed luxury blends with the Africa of yore in the elegant thatch and lethaka main lodge buildings. Meals are silver service at dining tables romantically lit by candelabra. The dining-room leads onto an expansive open-air patio for evenings around a blazing camp fire. Other lodge facilities include a cocktail bar, lounge, wildlife reference library, a secluded bird-viewing hide, shaded hammocks, reading benches and a delightful sun-deck and plunge pool for relaxation during the hot midday hours.

Accommodation

Camp Okavango accommodates only 22 guests in intimate exclusivity in East African-style safari tents individually situated on raised teak platforms with en-suite ablution facilities and private sun-decks. Each tent is exquisitely furnished with an African teak wardrobe, luggage rack, dressing table, bedside pedestals and traditional director's chairs. Colourful woven rugs, designer linen and matching interior blinds complete your African hideaway.

Honeymooners are catered for and, for those who demand the ultimate in exclusivity, Camp Okavango boasts the “Okavango Suite” offering complete privacy and the option of private game-viewing activities.

Safari activities

The Okavango Delta is arguably the finest wilderness wetland in the world; renowned as a haven for rare species such as the elusive sitatunga antelope and the Pel's fishing owl, the Delta is also a bird-watchers paradise. Camp Okavango is the ideal base from which to discover the secrets of this incredible wetland ecosystem. All game-viewing activities are conducted by experienced resident naturalist guides and include exploring the Okavango by canoe and river craft on wildlife and bird-watching expeditions. Guided nature walks on the islands of the Delta afford an opportunity to track some of the larger species that inhabit this water wilderness. Fishing for the fighting tiger-fish, pike and bream is excellent at most times of the year.
