The Detail

The luxurious Camp Okavango is an authentic African safari lodge situated on the secluded Nxaragha Island in the heart of the permanent Okavango Delta. The camp was designed to be eco-sensitive and is 100% solar powered.

Camp Okavango boasts twelve spacious Safari Suites. Each elevated suite features an en-suite bathroom with double vanities and double showers, an overhead fan, hairdryer, dressing robes, tea and coffee-making facilities, an in-room safe, an umbrella, a flashlight, an emergency horn, and a private deck complete with loungers and stackable doors that offer spectacular views of the delta.

One of the suites is ideal for families and comprises two bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, and an additional children's area complete with games and books. A third child can be accommodated in the second bedroom on a roll-out bed.

The camp facilities include two lounge areas, a dining room, library, self-service bar, curio shop, two open-air fire pits on the lower deck level, various seating areas, and a swimming pool. Each area is linked to the others by a network of wooden walkways.

Camp Okavango offers a water wilderness experience: game viewing is undertaken by motorboat, mokoro, and 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. In addition to possible sightings of wild dogs, leopards, and cheetahs, other resident species include lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, 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 cormorants, African darters, Eastern white pelicans, African spoonbills, Goliath herons, egrets, herons, glossy ibis, sacred ibis, storks, geese, and ducks are some of the many species often sighted in the area.

Camp Okavango is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families looking for a luxurious safari getaway.
