Okavango Delta, Botswana
Wilderness Abu Camp
A luxury camp
Set in a vast private concession of 180,000 hectares in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Wilderness Abu Camp offers some of the most luxurious tented accommodation in the Delta.
The lodge is among the most comfortable and luxurious around, with six spacious wood and canvas tents centred around the main lodge which has a library, dining room and bar as well as a relaxing swimming pool area. For an unforgettable night out under the night sky, spend a night in the wonderfully romantic star bed.
Wilderness Abu Camp offers a rare world-class luxury safari experience, and the expansive 180 000-hectare Abu Private Reserve is a wildlife-rich mosaic of habitats with exceptional game-viewing and birding. A visit to Wilderness Abu Camp is the quintessential Okavango Delta safari experience – with the added bonus of being able to learn more about vital elephant conservation work. Guests can explore the Abu Private Reserve on guided nature walks and enjoy water excursions and game drives with expert guides.

Places to combine Wilderness Abu Camp with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
