CAMP OKAVANGO
- OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA
Camp Okavango is situated on remote Nxaragha Island
in the heart of the permanent Okavango Delta, assuring a year-round water
wilderness experience. Botswana's magnificent Okavango Delta is a maze of lagoons, lakes and hidden channels covering an area of over 16,000 square km in flood and shrinking to less than 9,000 square km in the dry season. Trapped in the parched Kalahari sands the fresh water oasis attracts wildlife that depends on the permanent waters of this unique wilderness.

Activities
Water-based game-viewing activities are conducted by experienced professional guides who will expertly navigate guests through the many meandering, reed-lined waterways. Roam the vast expanses of water from the comfort of a modern motorboat or explore the intricacies of the Okavango Delta the old fashioned way, in the traditional contours of the Mokoro (canoe).
For those looking to get a little closer to nature, guided bush walks are conducted on a number of the nearby islands, offering an opportunity to track some of the larger land-based species that inhabit this water wilderness. Bird-watching opportunities are outstanding, and fishing for bream and tiger fish is also offered as an activity.
Wildlife
Camp Okavango borders the Moremi Wildlife Reserve
and, as such, includes a diverse habitat that supports a wide variety
of animals, with possible sightings of Wild Dog, Cheetah and Leopard being
highlights. Resident species include Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, Giraffe,
Hyena, Zebra, Kudu, Red Lechwe, Sable and Roan Antelope and many more.
Birdwatching is excellent throughout the year. Guided nature walks to
the Delta's islands afford an opportunity to track the larger species
that inhabit this wilderness area.
