Luxury Okavango Safari: Wilderness Safaris Lodges in Botswana

Example of a tailor-made journey, fully customisable

Country

Botswana

Suggested duration

9 days / 6 nights

Ideal periods

May to October

The spirit of the journey

This luxury safari in the Okavango Delta brings together Botswana’s rarest offerings: private concessions free of mass tourism, exceptionally rich wildlife, and camps run by Wilderness Safaris, one of southern Africa’s most respected operators for the excellence of its lodges and the depth of its environmental commitment.


The selected camps are tucked into exclusive areas of the delta, among lagoons, channels and wild islets. Each property opens onto nature: architecture integrated into the landscape, a deliberately limited number of suites, personalised service that anticipates without ever intruding. Luxury here is understated, essential, never ostentatious.


The delta is explored at three complementary paces: 4x4 safari at sunrise to approach lions, elephants and leopards in their territory, guided walks to read tracks and understand the ecosystems, and mokoro to glide silently through the papyrus and observe the Okavango’s exceptional birdlife, with over 400 species recorded.


Wilderness Safaris devotes a share of its revenue to conservation and local community development. Staying at one of their camps means contributing directly to the preservation of this unique territory — a commitment that gives the journey an added dimension, rare in the luxury sector.


This Okavango safari is for those who want to experience Africa with high standards, and who know that the true privilege is leaving a place untouched behind them.

Chitabe Camp

Chitabe Camp est situé sur une magnifique île du delta de l'Okavango, au sein d’une réserve naturelle privée bordée sur trois côtés par la Moremi Game Reserve. Les paysages de la zone sont divers, de grandes zones boisées et riveraines à la rivière s’ouvrant sur les prairies et les plaines inondables.

OKAVANGO DELTA – private concession in the northern delta
After a short flight over the delta, you’ll reach the superb Vumbura Plains camp, Wilderness’s flagship luxury camp, offering a unique experience and extraordinary views: floodplains dotted with palm islands and shaded forest.
The handful of elegant, spacious suites with private plunge pools overlook waters teeming with hippopotamuses.
Known for having the delta’s best predator sightings, the region is beautiful and offers an exceptional safari area.

Vumbura is expensive, certainly, but if you’re going to treat yourself, this is the place to do it!
You’ll stay 2 nights in this fine setting at the heart of the Delta.
Activities: boat safaris, mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) and 4×4 safaris.

Vumbura Plains Camp

Sans conteste,Vumbura Plains est l'un des camps les plus luxueux du delta mais ce qui le rend unique, c'est sa situation à l’extrême Nord de l’Okavango, ​une zone de plaines inondables parsemées d'îles de palmiers et de forêts ombragées, offrant une grande variété d’habitats naturels qui accueillent la majorité des espèces susceptibles d’être rencontrées dans le delta.
Le camp de Vumbura Plains regroupe deux camps satellites chacun composé de sept chambres : Vumbura South et Vumbura North.
Pour résumer, Vumbura Plains se distingue des autres camps par sa sophistication minimaliste, son service irréprochable et sa zone de safari qui offre de l'eau presque toute l'année et une richesse faunique quasiment inégalable au Botswana.

LINYANTI
At its north-eastern edge, the Delta spills over in an unusual way, connecting it to the Linyanti marshes, the Savuti swamps, the woodlands along the Chobe River and, finally, the mighty Zambezi River.
You’ll come close to the borders of Namibia. The landscapes here are different again, as the Linyanti River forms permanent wetlands in this area.
Thanks to the year-round presence of water, this region shelters varied wildlife and very large numbers of birds.
A fitting complement to exploring the Okavango Delta!
Here, DumaTau, meaning “roar of the lion”, awaits you in territory favoured by big cats.
Positioned between two heavily used elephant migration corridors, its location is a considerable asset.
DumaTau comprises eight ultra-spacious suites, each with a small private plunge pool and outdoor shower.
Activities: 4×4, walking and boat safaris.

A pre- or post-extension to Victoria Falls can be added (ask us for details).

DumaTau

Au cœur de la réserve de Linyanti, au nord du Botswana, près de la source du canal Savute, vous serez surpris par l'élégance et le raffinement du camp luxueux de DumaTau.
DumaTau, qui signifie "rugissement du lion", est réputé pour sa concentration de félins.
Il offre une proximité remarquable avec la faune, situé entre plaines inondables, lagons et forêt de mopane, entouré de lagunes grouillant d’hippopotames et d’oiseaux aquatiques. Sa situation, entre deux couloirs de migration des éléphants très fréquentés, est aussi un atout considérable.
