Camp Okavango

Camp Okavango occupies Nxaragha Island in the permanent-water heart of the Delta, away from the road-accessible eastern reserves, so it is reached by light aircraft. Eleven raised suites and a two-bedroom family suite house a maximum of 24 guests. Because there is little drivable land, the programme is water-based: motorised boat safaris through channels and lagoons, mokoro excursions, and guided walks on surrounding islands. Seasonal catch-and-release fishing for bream, helicopter scenic flights at extra cost, and a sleep-out platform for stays of three nights or more are also offered. Birdlife is the main wildlife attraction alongside hippo, crocodile and lechwe. Operated by Desert & Delta Safaris.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Okavango Delta, Botswana. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, see the property's own site.
