Camp Okavango

On the remote Nxaragha Island in the Okavango Delta, Camp Okavango feels deeply tied to its surroundings – a quiet, waterbound world where you hear reeds whisper and fish eagles call. Fed by floodwaters that never reach the sea, the Delta forms a labyrinth of channels, lagoons and islands where life thrives in every direction. From your first step on the island, become enveloped by the stillness of this extraordinary water wilderness in an intimate setting. 

Expert guides navigate through narrow channels by mokoro or motorboat, revealing lilies, papyrus forests and wildlife moving through the shallows. Guided walks on neighbouring islands bring you closer to animal tracks, birdlife and the intricate ecology of this wetland. Fish for bream and tigerfish, while birders find an endless succession of sightings. For stays of three nights or more, an evening on the elevated sleep-out deck offers a rare chance to fall asleep under a sky so full of stars it seems surreal.

Camp Okavango accommodates you in raised safari suites tucked beneath thick Delta vegetation. The suites feature an en-suite bathroom with double vanities and double showers, along with sliding doors that open onto a private viewing deck overlooking the floodplains. Interconnected walkways link lounges, dining spaces and a library. There’s also a rim-flow pool framed by a thatched deck. Open-air fire pits create a welcoming gathering place each evening, where stories mingle with the sounds of the Delta and the water reflects the last of the day’s light. Camp Okavango welcomes families with children six years and older.
