Camp Okavango offers a water wilderness experience: game viewing is undertaken by motorboat or mokoro, and on nature walks. Motorboats take guests along the winding channels to neighboring islands, while tranquil mokoro trips provide serene game-viewing experiences. Some of the region’s larger species can be tracked and sighted on nature walks and experienced guides lead all safari activities. Bird-watching is best during the migratory season from November through to March. The Okavango is famous for its fish, which include fighting tigerfish, pike and bream. Fishing is offered on a catch-and-release basis.
The water wilderness of the Okavango Delta supports a huge diversity of bird and animal life. As well as possible sightings of wild dog, leopard and cheetah, other resident species include lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, hyena, zebra, kudu, red lechwe, sable and roan antelope. The elusive Sitatunga antelope can also be found in the wetland ecosystem.
Over 400 bird species have been recorded, including the iconic African fish eagle and the endangered Pel's fishing owl. Reed cormorant, African darter, Eastern white pelican, African spoonbill, Goliath heron, egrets, herons, glossy ibis, sacred ibis, storks, geese and ducks are some of the many species that are often sighted in the area.
Camp Okavango is ideal for solo explorers, couples and families looking for a luxurious safari getaway.

Amazing tip from Jayson
A few years ago we had Jayson deal with a Safari tour we wanted arranged for our parents and so started our first contact with Safari.com and Jayson. Since our parents were so very pleased with their experience, we immediately thought of Jayson when my partner and myself stated planning a trip to Africa. Jayson remembered us from almost 4 years ago, which I think is rather outstanding. We booked a three night stay, on Jaysons recomendation, at the Wallow Lodge, which proved to be a wonerful experience. Apart from the lodge being everything you could possibly imagine, it was the staff that made our stay a wonderful experience. We would most certainly recommend the wallow Lodge should we hear of freinds wishing to visit the Victoria Falls. Thanks gos to safari.com, Jayson for organizing our trip and the wonderful staff of the Wallow Lodge at the Victoria Falls. Kindest Regards, Kristof

A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.

First organized trip to Africa.
Booking an entire trip is a new experience for us. Our first contact with Shamiel was pleasant and wanted to know what we wanted out of the entire experience. As the planning moved forward Shamiel brought in Jayson to assist. As they listened to what we wanted and our concerns they brought together a package for us. Both we always accessible and extremely interested to provide us with a great experience.

Safari booked. SA here I come.
I have never been to SA before, so naturally I was a bit apprehensive about booking a safari on my own. I turned to safari.com for help and I'm so glad I did. Keith was so helpful, patient and saved me money! That's a win, win, win. I would recommend safari.com to anyone planning their trip and their experiences in SA.
