Itinerary
Start your African safari with a short charter flight into the Okavango Delta Your camp has a prime location in the Delta with many channels, tributaries and swamps which create a daily canvas for exploration and discovery. Water-focused game viewing from a mokoro (dugout canoe) and boat cruises will give you up-close game sightings and manoeuvrability. Guides will ensure they focus on any special interests that you may have, whether it be to find endemic bird species, photograph reed frogs and fish eagles or track one of the big cats on foot.
The lodge is designed in such a way to create a natural flow between the main lodge and the private tent. You will find it hard to leave the confines of your luxury tent which boasts its indoor and outdoor shower and large private deck with incredible views.
Depending on your arrival time on day one, you will be welcomed to lunch or tea. After checking in and a chance to freshen up, you will head out on your first game activity. Sundowners will be served in the bush, most often than not, to a glowing sunset display of orange and red-tinted skies. A traditional dinner will be served under the twinkling stars around the campfire as you reminisce on the day’s events.
