Camp Okavango Ngamiland |
Camp Okavango in Botswana is situated on remote Nxaragha
Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, assuring a year-round water
wilderness experience. Unashamed luxury blends with the Africa of yore in the
elegant thatch and lethaka main building which houses a cocktail bar, lounge
and dining room, while the expansive open air patio caters for al fresco meals
and evenings around a blazing fire. Camp Okavango's dinner served by
candelabra is renowned among knowledgeable Africa travellers. Shaded hammocks,
reading benches and a delightful sundeck and plunge pool provide relief during
the hot midday hours, whilst an elevated observation platform affords stunning
views of the tranquil floodplains. Camp Okavango accommodates only 24 guests
in intimate exclusivity in East African style safari tents individually sited
on raised teak platforms with en-suite ablution facilities and a private
sundeck. Each tent is exquisitely furnished with a Rhodesian Teak wardrobe,
luggage rack, dressing table, bedside pedestals and traditional directors
chairs; colourful woven rugs, designer linen and matching interior blinds
complete your African hideaway.

The Okavango Delta is a conundrum, a contradiction of 16000 square km of
crystal clear channels, serene lagoons and a myriad of islands; this unique
wetland system survives atop the sands of the vast Kalahari Desert. It is fed
by the mighty Okavango River, which flows southeast from the Angolan
highlands, to flood the Delta on a perennial and annual cycle. The water
wilderness of the Okavango Delta offers a safe haven for innumerable bird and
wildlife species. The elusive Sitatunga Antelope has found refuge in this
pristine wetland ecosystem, while birds such as the Africa Fish Eagle, Pel's
Fishing Owl and many others are magnificent in their spectacular display.
Situated on remote Nxaragha Island in the heart of the permanent Okavango
Delta.
How to get there: Your arrival at Camp Okavango will be arranged for
you by co-ordinating a transfer by means of light aircraft charter. These air
transfers operate from either Maun, Kasane (to which you will be transferred to
by road, if travelling from Livingstone or Victoria Falls) or any of the other
camps or lodges in Botswana. These air transfers operate on a seat in charter
basis which might include a stop at certain camp airstrips in Botswana to
either drop off or pick up other travellers. At your request, private air
charters can be arranged on your behalf which will take you directly to Camp
Okavango from any destination in Botswana.
When travelling to Camp Okavango from Camp Moremi or Xugana Island Lodge, we
strongly recommend that this transfer be done by boat. This provides the
opportunity for you to experience the multitude of serpentine streams that
form the Okavango Delta and this transfer is a true activity in its own right.
Visits to the heron breeding areas on Gadikwe and Xakanaxa lagoons are
included in the transfer from Camp Moremi. This also includes possible
opportunities to see other potential wildlife sightings along the way.
