North Island Okavango

North Island Okavango is located on a private island in the Okavango - between the floodplains, open savannah and woodlands – and here is an abundance of wildlife. The Camp is set in a vast private concession in the northern side of the Delta. With the large size, an abundance of game, and very little evidence of other people, this is a prime destination for those looking for an exclusive experience in a blissfully uncrowded area.

Here you can enjoy a pristine wilderness of floodplains and grasslands, lagoons and palm-strewn islands.

Being at the upstream end of the Okavango Delta, this area receives the annual floodwaters first. This opens up water-based viewing activities for most of the year, to offer off-the-charts wildlife watching experiences.

There are 5 spacious tents and 1 family unit in camp, each resting on a raised wooden deck under the shady boughs of wild ebony trees. Each tent offers stunning views of the lagoon in front of it and a private plunge pool with a sunken sundeck for cooling off, for you to enjoy while watching the wildlife that comes into view. At night sit on the deck listening to the bell frogs tinkle like wind-chimes. For the hotter summer nights, each bed comes with its very own ‘over-the-bed’ cooling system. And in winter, there is a cosy fireplace to relax in front of, making each tent a romantic safari experience.

Each tent is situated around a congregation of beautiful trees, with exceptional lagoon views. The adventure here comes to you in waves, as you safari amongst the islands, rich with wild things and extraordinary beauty. This is without doubt, an incredible Okavango Delta safari experience.

The camp sits peacefully in front of a glorious hippo-filled lagoon, with a separate lounge and dining area to enjoy delicious dinners, connected by a wooden deck that extends onwards for stargazing around a crackling fire pit at night. To the side, there is a separate library for resting and reading and an outdoor gym to exercise in, while surrounded by the wild.

The Safari experience here allows you to experience the Delta three ways - land (game drives), water mokoro and boat meanders) and in the air (scenic helicopter flights).

Game drive through the pristine wilderness in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, hippo and the rare sitatunga antelope.
View the wildlife at eye level on a boat or traditional mokoro safari through the lily-filled channels (water activities are subject to water levels in the Delta – however North Island gets water almost all year round).

Experience this pristine wilderness on foot, on a morning or afternoon game walk with your expert guide, tracking game and getting to see everything at eye level right at the heart of where the wild things are.
Cruise over the vast landscapes of the Okavango Delta on a soaring helicopter flight or to view ancient rock art at Tsodilo Hills, less than 100km away (at an additional cost).

Enjoy a community visit to one of our outreach partners in the nearby village.
