THE QUINTESSENTIAL WATER SAFARI EXPERIENCE AWAITS
The quintessential water safari experience awaits at Camp Okavango, an enchanting property set on a remote island at the heart of the delta.
Surrounded by water, game viewing is not in 4×4 safari vehicles but in motor boats and traditional dug-out canoes. Gliding along the Okavango’s meandering waterways allows guests to see the local birds and wildlife from a totally different perspective.
Keen anglers can test their skill against bream and tiger fish, whilst guided bush walks are a great opportunity to track some of the larger land-based species that inhabit this water wonderland.
Accommodation is in airy, East African-style tents, each raised on a teak platform. Sliding glass doors open onto private viewing decks where you’ll find serene views over the floodplains. The secluded bird-viewing hide is a great spot for quiet relaxation and contemplation, while the rim-flow swimming pool is perfect for cooling off during the midday heat. The dining area leads out onto an expansive open-air patio where tranquil evenings are enjoyed around the fire pit.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
