Recently refurbished, Camp Okavango now offers some of the most beautiful and elegant accommodation available in this pristine region of the Delta. This part of the private Shindi concession has a wide range of habitats but is dominated by permanent channels and shallow floodplains, making activities primarily water-focused. There is no vehicle traffic to disturb the peace. This camp suits a traveller whose priority is relaxation and experiencing the stunning landscape surrounding this private, luxurious camp. It offers an altogether different experience of the wilderness, where seeing big game is not the sole focus.
Twelve guest suites including one family unit, accommodate up to 24 guests. There is extensive use of several different kinds of wood, from the large front door to the cupboards and the floor. Concertina glass doors fold away in front of both the bed and a separate lounge area, creating the sense of the room seamlessly extending onto the private deck, ensuring uninterrupted panoramas of the bush around you. Even the spacious double shower and the basin in the en-suite bathroom have views. There's also a desk with a comfortable writing chair as well as a little tea/coffee station.
The remoteness. Nxaragha Island sits deep in the permanent Delta - no roads, no other camps in sight, just water, papyrus and seemingly endless wilderness in every direction.
Stay for at least three nights and you'll be able to book the sleep-out deck - a proper bed on an open platform under a sky full of stars.
This is a water-based camp, so there are no safari vehicles or game drives. If big cats or open plains are what you're after, you'll want to combine it with a land-based camp elsewhere.
