Atzaro Okavango Camp

Built using recycled materials, the main lodge is a thatched structure that opens onto an expansive deck with amazing views of the lagoon. The lounge is dotted with plump leather couches and plush rugs and softly lit by woven lamps. The dining area serves a menu that celebrates the flavours of the region, paired with wines chosen by the in-house sommelier. The Palm Bar has a fine selection of drinks while the high tea room boasts an observation deck. And in the evenings, the firepit lounge is the place to be as fireflies light up the reeds.

Draped in warm, natural tones, with hand-carved wooden furnishings, armchairs and locally-inspired decor, Atzaro has 12 luxury suites including two double family rooms. A swathe of glass walls reveal megawatt views of the lagoon and palm islands beyond, best enjoyed from the large canopy bed. In the en-suite bathrooms, there are indoor and outdoor showers as well as a bathtub on the private deck and a small plunge pool to cool you down. And did we mention that star beds are available for an unforgettable sleep under the night sky?

The Okavango Delta has no trouble when it comes to the variety of activities on offer and at Atzaro, it's no different. Explore the area on day and nighttime drives, walking safaris and mokoro rides, or even try your hand at catch-and-release fishing. Along the way, you'll spy elephant, buffalo, lion, red lechwe and hippo (to name a few) as well as a plethora of birdlife including the coveted Pel's fishing owl. In your down time, head for the infinity pool or admire the works at the in-house art gallery.
