“On the way to Okavango Explorers Camp, it feels like you are following a forgotten path, far away from the crowd.”
On the banks of the Selinda Spillway, in a wild and untouched part of the northern Okavango Delta, lies Okavango Explorers Camp. A stylish expedition camp for travelers who want to venture deep into the wilderness. With safaris as they were meant to be: adventurous, personal, and unspoiled. Do you dare to take the plunge? Then unforgettable experiences await you!
Okavango Explorers Camp: back to the roots of safari
The intimate Okavango Explorers Camp consists of just six classic canvas tents, set up as explorers did in the past. But of course, with the comfort and a touch of today’s luxury. Think of wooden platforms, cozy beds, ensuite bathrooms, and a veranda overlooking the river. The decor is classic safari: canvas, wood, copper, and cotton. The camp is designed to blend into the surroundings without overpowering them. The small lounge and dining area overlook the spillway and form the heart of the camp.
Wildlife in abundance
The Selinda Spillway where the Okavango Explorers Camp is located, is a true magnet for wildlife. In the dry season, thousands of elephants gather here, along with large predators like lions, leopards, and African wild dogs. Thanks to its location in a private concession, you are nearly always out in the wild alone.
Safaris to the rhythm of nature
At Okavango Explorers Camp, everything revolves around a genuine connection with the bush. Expect beautiful encounters during:
- Game drives at sunrise and sunset
- Walking safaris with an armed guide
- Seasonal mokoro or canoe trips
- Birdwatching and tracking along the banks
- Everything at a leisurely pace, with room for attention, explanation, and wonder
And after such extraordinary experiences? The days will surely end around the campfire, under a sky full of stars. Guests share stories, guides discuss the day, and the bush is never silent. Here, there is no wifi or distraction, just pure nature experience and true connection.
