Botswana - Safari Lodges & Wilderness Camps

As part of our Botswana itinerary we visit a selection of safari lodges and wilderness camps.

Nxabega Okavanga Safari Camp

  • Luxurious intimate safari cottages

  • Private wildlife concession

  • Exceptional Okavango Delta wilderness

  • Game-drives, bush walks and boat cruises

Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp is located on the edge of the Okavango Delta in a 7,000 hectare exclusive wildlife concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana. Meaning “Place of the Giraffe”, Nxabega is ideally positioned to explore the magnificence of the Okavango, the largest inland delta in the world.

A wetland wilderness of looping channels, islands forested with palms and wide grassy floodplains, the Delta is home to a magnificent array of wild animals and exceptional birdlife. Guests are able to experience this irresistible combination of water and wildlife on twice-daily game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, mokoro (dugout canoe) and powerboat excursions.

The Lodge’s exclusive and elegant tented suites are nestled under a canopy of African ebony trees and feature stylish en-suite bathrooms and private decks overlooking the reeded molapo (floodplain). Nxabega is an intimate Camp, offering the height of sophistication and style within the heart of the Okavango Delta.

Sandibe Safari Camp

  • Luxury intimate safari cottages

  • Classic Okavango Delta wilderness

  • Excellent game-viewing and bird watching

  • Mokoro and eco-craft cruises

Sandibe Safari Lodge is set on a permanent channel of the magnificent Okavango Delta, adjacent to the game-rich Moremi reserve on a 270 square kilometre private concession.

The beautiful thatched Lodge nestles between permanent water and grass-swept plains and was built with a commitment to ‘treading lightly on the earth’. The result is organic architecture that blends seamlessly with one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa. The Lodge comprises exclusive twin-bedded safari cottages, each with en-suite facilities, open-air showers and private game-viewing decks overlooking the Santantadibe River. Sandibe is surrounded by an abundant array of wildlife and throughout the year, guests are enchanted by the changing moods of the Delta.

The Lodge's professional guides share the wonder of this wetland wilderness with guests on exhilarating game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, interpretive bush walks, eco-craft and mokoro excursions.

Baines' Camp

  • Luxurious safari suites

  • Teeming with African wildlife

  • Boating & walking safaris

Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the intimate Baines’ Camp features luxurious suites set on elevated platforms. Wooden decks offer expansive views over the Boro River and a lagoon teeming with wildlife.

The elevated suites feature a spacious bedroom with softly-draped fabrics adding the romantic touch of a bygone era. The four-poster beds are fully mobile, giving you the choice of slumber under star-laden skies. Avid astronomers will delight in stargazing from the privacy of your own deck. This exclusive Lodge is named after Thomas Baines, the famed 19th century explorer and artist. The main area features an oversize deck for outdoor dining and a swimming pool for refreshing sunbathing.

Situated on a private concession neighbouring the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, the Camp offers superb game-viewing. You can explore the area by land and water, often into the night to discover nocturnal species. The permanent water of the Camp will reveal a world of floating safaris, atmospherically silent at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro, or faster in a comfortable shaded motorboat. Walking safaris are a speciality at Baines led by skilled, armed guides.

Camp Moremi
  • Luxurious tented Camp

  • Okavango Delta’s Xakanaxa

  • Moremi Wildlife Reserve

  • Game-drives & excellent bird watching

Situated in the heart of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, reputedly one of the most beautiful in Africa, Camp Moremi offers a diversity of habitat and animal life. There are possible sightings of cheetah, leopard, lion, elephant and buffalo on game-drives, which are led by resident naturalist guides who are carefully trained to share their knowledge and deep love of Botswana’s wilderness.

The famous elevated Moremi Tree Lodge is the stunning focal point of this Camp and houses the luxurious main lounge, a wildlife reference library, dining room and cocktail bar, shaded by giant ebony trees and overlooking the Okavango Delta’s Xakanaxa Lagoon.

Camp Moremi is beautifully furnished in East African style tents on raised teak platforms. Lodge facilities include a sundeck, plunge pool, boma and an elevated game-viewing platform at the water’s edge, affording magnificent views over the lagoon. The game-viewing platform is the perfect spot for sundowners after the day’s game-viewing activities.

Camp Okavango

  • Luxurious tented water Camp

  • Magnificent Okavango Delta

  • Plunge pool & sundeck

  • Nature walks & canoeing

Tucked away on the remote Nxaragha Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, camp Okavango’s unashamed luxury blends with the Africa of old in the elegant thatch and lethaka main building with an expansive open-air patio catering for al fresco meals and evenings around a blazing camp fire.

Other facilities include a cocktail bar, lounge, hammocks, reading benches and a delightful sundeck and plunge pool for relaxation during the hot midday hours. The Lodge accommodates guests in exquisitely furnished East African style safari tents on raised teak platforms, each with private en-suite facilities.

Spend your days exploring the Okavango by canoe, powerboat or on nature walks on the islands of the Delta, always accompanied by a resident naturalist guide. But what really sets Camp Okavango apart is its air of intimacy and the fact that such care and attention to detail has been taken to ensure that each safari guest enjoys a unique water-wilderness experience.
