Location

Overlooking the mainstream Okavango River, this property is the ideal safari camp with fishing and boating opportunities amidst abundant Elephant, Hippo and Bird life.

The property is in an exclusive area, as it is one of only three properties having direct, and all year-round access to the mainstream river. This enables us to operate 12 months and beyond the ordinary tourism season. The location away from villages and cattle posts gives the camp the advantage of exceptional quiet and tranquillity.

Situated on elevated grounds which affords it spectacular views of the panhandle and extravagant sunsets to the theatrical sounds of birdlife. The location within 2 different habitats, the riverine forest as well as the Kalahari Sandveld acacia woodlands offers unparalleled birdlife.

The camp is partly developed and partly operational with main deck and existing tent structures.

At present, the camp is being looked after and maintained by the owner himself and three full time employees who’s scope of work stretch from fencing and gardening to building and maintenance of the main deck and existing tent structures. An additional part time employee is brought in periodically to take care of housekeeping, scullery and cooking.
