Wild Expeditions is on a mission to take intrepid travellers into the remotest corners of Africa, encouraging visitors to establish a meaningful connection with nature, sans frills or flourishes. The latest outpost, Karangoma, is located in 30,000 hectares of exclusive terrain near the origin point of the Selinda Spillway in the Okavango Delta. A name that harkens a good future in the Sembukushu language, Karangoma was established in close partnership with local elder, Olatotse Sarefo, and the camp is committed to maintaining genuine and reciprocated engagement with surrounding communities. And of course, its exceptional location means top-notch wildlife sightings from both land and water - and not another soul around to interrupt.

Set amongst leadwood and sausage trees on a shady peninsula overlooking the glinting floodplains (in season) and a well-trodden game path, the camp has six tented rooms including a family unit with two en-suite tents. The interiors were inspired by the iconic Hambukushu basketry of the northern Okavango. Each tent features a large bed and lounge area, as well as a bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers.
Exploring the area on foot and even stopping for a spontaneous dip in the water (safely, of course).
Mokoro and boating safaris are dependent on the water levels, so be mindful of that when deciding on the time of year to visit.
Children must be eight or older to stay at Karangoma and must be over 12 to participate in walking safaris.
