The campexperience.

Game drives, waterways and life under canvas.

Look a little closer

There is more than oneway into the wild.

Follow the floodplain by vehicle, take to the waterways in a mokoro, or enjoy the view from camp. Each perspective reveals something different. Your guides will shape the day around conditions, interests and the possibilities of the landscape.

01 · Across the floodplain

Game drives

Explore the varied habitats around camp with guides who know this landscape. Open plains, woodland and wetland offer different encounters, from birdlife to larger mammals.

The interest is in the whole landscape, not only the larger sightings. Stop, listen and let your guide show you what you might otherwise pass by.

From the camp’s wildlife collection. Every outing is different; sightings are never guaranteed.

02 · Along the waterways

Mokoro

Move quietly through lilies and reed-lined channels with experienced local polers. It is an intimate view of the Delta, close to the water and at a pace that leaves room to notice the smaller details.

A different rhythm, and a different way to understand the place. The camp team will advise on conditions and arrangements during your stay.

Between the adventures

A day withouttoo much hurry.

Early light, coffee in the bush, an unhurried brunch and an afternoon back at camp. Later, there is high tea, an evening drive and conversation around the boma.

Exact timings change with the season and the day’s plans. There is room to talk to the team about the pace that suits you.

The Delta from above

Scenic helicopter flightsand transfers.

See the waterways and floodplains from another perspective on a scenic helicopter flight. From above, the channels, islands and open grassland reveal a different view of the landscape you explore from camp.

A helicopter transfer can also form part of your arrival through Maun. Contact reservations to discuss a scenic flight or transfer, availability and the cost for your travel dates. Flights are arranged separately and remain subject to weather and operational conditions.

Life at camp

Pool daysand sundowners.

After a morning in the Delta, return for a swim, a book and time to watch the light change. The pool and deck offer a quieter rhythm, with the wetland close by. Stay a little longer for sundowners and conversation before dinner.

The main pool welcomes guests from both the Meru and family tents and is separate from the standard tents’ private plunge pools. Speak to the team about special sundowner or celebration arrangements.
