A small camp in the Okavango Delta on a private concession, with water and land activities and no shared sightings.

Eight tents on a private concession, with mokoro and boat days alongside game drives. Paired with a land camp, it gives the complete Delta.

Best time
May to October for the dry season and high water in the Delta. November to April is green, quieter, and better value.

Why we like it

What makes Okavango water camp work

  • A private concession means mokoro, boat and game-drive days with no other camps' vehicles.
  • The Delta from the water is a different safari: birds, reeds, elephants at the channel edge.
  • Eight tents keep the camp personal; the deck over the channel is the best seat in Botswana.

Good to know

Before you decide

  • Water levels peak between June and August; some water activities depend on the season.
  • Light aircraft from Maun take around half an hour.
  • Best combined with a land camp in Moremi, Khwai or the Linyanti for big game.
