The luxurious Camp Okavango is an authentic African safari lodge situated on the secluded Nxaragha Island in the heart of the permanent Okavango Delta. The camp was designed to be eco-sensitive and is therefore 100% solar powered.

Each elevated suite features an en-suite bathroom with double vanities and double showers, overhead fan, hairdryer, dressing robes, tea and coffee making facilities, in-room safe, umbrella, flashlight, emergency horn, and a private deck complete with loungers and stackable doors which offer spectacular views of the delta.
One of the suites is ideal for families and comprises of two bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, and an additional children's area complete with games and books. A third child can be accommodated in the second bedroom on a roll out bed.
The camp facilities include two lounge areas, a dining room, library, self-service bar, curio shop, two open-air fire pits on the lower deck level, various seating areas and a swimming pool. Each area is linked to the other by a network of wooden walkways.
Camp Okavango offers a water wilderness experience: game viewing is undertaken by motorboat or mokoro, and on nature walks. Motorboats take guests along the winding channels to neighboring islands, while tranquil mokoro trips provide serene game-viewing experiences. Some of the region’s larger species can be tracked and sighted on nature walks and experienced guides lead all safari activities. Bird-watching is best during the migratory season from November through to March. The Okavango is famous for its fish, which include fighting tigerfish, pike and bream. Fishing is offered on a catch-and-release basis.
The water wilderness of the Okavango Delta supports a huge diversity of bird and animal life. As well as possible sightings of wild dog, leopard and cheetah, other resident species include lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, hyena, zebra, kudu, red lechwe, sable and roan antelope. The elusive Sitatunga antelope can also be found in the wetland ecosystem.
Over 400 bird species have been recorded, including the iconic African fish eagle and the endangered Pel's fishing owl. Reed cormorant, African darter, Eastern white pelican, African spoonbill, Goliath heron, egrets, herons, glossy ibis, sacred ibis, storks, geese and ducks are some of the many species that are often sighted in the area.
Camp Okavango is ideal for solo explorers, couples and families looking for a luxurious safari getaway.

This Travel Firm is Ready for You!
We have completed the preliminary reservations with this amazing travel firm. Thank God they exist! We would never have been able to figure out how to put the pieces of our trip to AFRICA together without them. They are patient, caring, detailed, and responsive to communications…something you expect, but do not always receive when service is involved. Connect with them via email if you are even thinking about going to Africa. Cheers!

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!
