Game Drives

A sumptuously-appointed camp perfect for sole-use groups, or simply for a more exclusive and intimate atmosphere

Found in the Okavango’s premier wildlife viewing area, and due to its prime position just below where the main Okavango River splits into its primary channels, nutrient deposits from the channel make this the most fertile area in the Delta – attracting high concentrations of plains game which means plentiful predator-prey interaction

In the summer months, the fertile plains teem with antelopes and their newborns, attracting vast numbers of predators, dominated by the big cats
