Botswana: 5 Dream Lodges in the Okavango Delta

Selecting five dream lodges in Botswana is an exercise in renunciation!
Choices made almost on impulse, dictated by our mood of the day. Yet choices that remain very representative of the journeys we craft for you in Africa.
Great character, impeccable service in unique settings, for safaris that are equally so.
In a word… Bliss!

Little Tubu, Botswana

Duba Plains Camp
In the northern part of the Okavango Delta lies an exceptional site. This floodplain environment, over 70% submerged during the dry season, offers unique and constant wildlife viewing. The private Duba Plains concession, run by the highly regarded Great Plains Conservation, offers travelers an immersive experience worthy of the finest safaris. Without question, one of the finest addresses in Botswana.

Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp
At the heart of the Okavango Delta lies a gem.
Set within a 250 km² private concession, andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp is an ideal starting point for exploring the area, by boat, mokoro, on foot or in an open 4×4. It is one of the few camps in the Delta where every activity is available year-round.

Zarafa Dhow Suites
For a deeply intimate experience, the Zarafa Dhow suite offers one of the most exclusive and luxurious safari experiences in Africa. Below it, an unobstructed view over the Zibadianja lagoon in the vast Selinda Reserve, in the northern Okavango Delta. This “bush villa” for exclusive use comprises two suites and comes with a private guide, a 4×4 safari vehicle and a chef.
Ideal for families or friends seeking privacy.

Sandibe Delta Camp, Botswana

Little Vumbura
Set apart on its own island and accessible only by boat, Little Vumbura is a beautiful camp with just six tents. The style is traditional and warm, matching the perfectly orchestrated welcome and service, with just the right touch of attention. Luxury the way we like it. Simple and understated.

Shinde Camp
For safari enthusiasts, Ker and Downey is a safe bet. The difficulty we face in securing space at Shinde Camp is proof of another kind! It is, naturally, one of our favorite addresses in the Okavango Delta. Two ways to secure your stay: book your trip far in advance, or… get lucky!
