Places to combine Camp Okavango with

Okavango Delta

Benefitting from an unparalleled feeling of intimacy, Sanctuary’s smallest camp in Botswana really prides itself on its relaxed, informal and eco-friendly nature. With only five suites and the main camp building all constructed from commercially grown wood and recycled tin cans perched on the papyrus banks of a Boro river lagoon, you couldn’t get further away from it all. The camp also partners with the Living with Elephants Foundation to house and protect rescued elephants and orphans, before releasing them to the wild. Located on the edges of the Moremi Game Reserve, this camp’s positioning means that you’re likely to come across lion, cheetah, crocodile, elephant and a myriad of bird species on your game drives or canoe safaris. The proximity of your raised suites to the water also means that you can sit and spot stealth-like hippos from your own private viewing deck. The inside is decorated comfortably with inviting four-poster beds swathed in white mosquito nets, hardwood floors draped in animal hides and a general feeling of open-plan luxury on the threshold of this wilderness.

Okavango Delta

Xudum has just nine newly decorated suites, located close to permanent river channels that flow year round. These means its a reliable place to come for water based activities. The thicker vegetation brought by the abundance of water also helps to draw a lot of bird life to the area. The smaller creatures and the environment itself are the highlight here, so it works best combined with a lodge that has more prolific big game viewing. The lodge and rooms are all built with two levels, this is quite a unique feature and allows beautiful views out across the delta. Guiding is excellent is outstanding and there are a variety of activities here, from game drives to mokoro and boat trips. Guided bush walks are also available as this is a private concession.

Okavango Delta

One of the most unforgettable safari experiences in Botswana, this is the area where Dereck and Beverly Joubert have spent years filming and photographing the amazing lions and buffalo that inhabit this part of the Delta. What makes the lions of this area so special, is their tendency to hunt during the daylight hours for the buffalo, meaning that you have a much greater chance of seeing the hunt (and the kill) in action that in other areas. This makes for dramatic, exciting game viewing when you are lucky enough to witness these amazing creatures in action. This is a private 77,000 acre private reserve, helping to protect and conserve the amazing wildlife of the area. The lodge itself has just 6 comfortable tents with a maximum of 12 guests. The tents are comfortable and cosy, decorated with brass fittings and period pieces, harking back to the style from the 1920’s. Photos of the Joubert’s work adorn the walls of the lounge and bar area, where guests are encouraged to mingle and exchange stories of the day’s viewing.

Okavango Delta

A charming little camp set up in a concession to the North of the Okavango, cverlooking a secluded lagoon in the northern Okavango Delta, Kwara provides great access to the permanent waterways of the Delta, as well as expansive dry land areas, ideal for spotting wildlife. The lodge is made up of nine canvas-style tents overlooking a lagoon. Each tent comes equipped with a spacious deck for relaxation, an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers and a gorgeous bath, all the while enjoying superb views out to the floodplains. Throughout the rest of the camp, guest will discover a dining area, lounge and curio shop, as well as two small pool areas at each end of the camp, providing guests with more private areas in which to relax. Each pool has a small bar and pool loungers, perfect for guests hoping to enjoy the afternoon siesta period. Guiding here is of a great standard with all game drives accompanied by a guide and tracker. You can take morning, afternoon and evening game drives as well as boat trips (by Mokoro or speedboat). Guided bush walks are also available.
