Macatoo Camp offers you an unforgettable experience with a true sense of freedom as you explore the Okavango Delta on horseback. Led by talented guides, guests have 450,000 acres of pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta to explore on calm, experienced horses, offering exhilarating rides alongside big game, such as giraffe, zebra and elephant. Combined with Macatoo, the luxurious tented bush camp accommodation in an exquisite African setting, we offer the riding adventure of a lifetime
Today you start your safari adventure with a 30 minute flight from Maun Airport to Macatoo Camp. A member of the Macatoo Team will assist you with getting situated on your flight. Your 30 minute air transfer offers a bird-eye view of the Okavango Delta where you are likely to see herds of Elephants as you look down from the sky.
A safari vehicle will be awaiting for you on arrival at the camp’s airstrip for a 45 minute game drive (or exciting boat ride - depending on the season) into Macatoo Camp.
Once you have settled in, afternoon tea and cake is served as you are briefed by an experienced guide before heading out into the African bush to bask in the sunset and perhaps take advantage of the stunning photo opportunities offered by the evening light.
Macatoo’s cheerful staff will provide a gentle wake-up call along with your choice of tea, coffee and rusks which are served to you in bed. A light breakfast is set up around the campfire ahead of your first long morning activity.
Depending on the season, you may head out in the boat through the flood waters or jump into the safari vehicle again driving through seas of tall grass to watch Giraffe, Zebra, Antelope, Elephant and Buffalo. A hearty lunch is served every day. Afternoon activities are leisurely and often include Mokoro trips – canoes used by the local fishermen of the Delta – that enables you to travel over the flooded seas of grass. Crocodile sightings are not infrequent and the bird-life is some of the best in the world. Sundowners are often enjoyed out in the bush before heading back to camp to freshen up.
Dinner is always a great occasion at Macatoo, but there is no guarantee that it is always eaten in the same location.
The delivery of tea or coffee in bed heralds the start of your last morning in camp and you will be anxious to make the most of your final day.
Today you will stay close to the camp, gliding through the waterways in the boat and admiring the vast open plains, home to blue wildebeest and Burchell's zebra. You will return to Macatoo along the myriad of waterways lined with large trees.
There will be time to freshen up and pack before the game drive to the airstrip, carrying a picnic lunch to tide you over until your return to the real world.

7 day Vic Falls/ Kruger adventure!!!
I can’t say enough about Kim and how much she did for me and my daughter to plan her 7 day Safari to Victoria Falls and Kruger Park. For myself to be in the USA and my daughter doing a medical internship in Cape Town, South Africa and the time difference, Kim was amazing in every way. The time difference in itself was a challenge but Kim was so helpful and was very quick to respond to me and my daughter at crazy times to make her trip perfect! Kims communication and most importantly making sure my daughter was Safe traveling solo was superb! Everything was planned and she wanted for nothing. Her flights and transfers were perfect along with her accommodations! She loved all of her safaris and the people were all amazing to her! Thank you so much for making a Madison’s Safari memorable in every way !

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!

Safari booking
Fadiel was very prompt in responding to my emails. Despite a double booking for our Safari - not his fault - everything worked out well in the end.
