Water-Based Camps in the Okavango Delta

View all Water-Based Camps Accommodation

What most people come to the Delta for is to immerse themselves, literally and figuratively, in the clear waters of the Okavango. Water-based camps may not necessarily offer the amazing game viewing of the land-based camps, but they are a more relaxing and tranquil environment.

Gently drift downstream on a crisp, early morning canoe safari, or enjoy the thrill of a motor boat trip to spot swimming elephants or watchful crocodiles. Small islands provide the chance to stretch your legs on a guided walkand the bird watching, especially on the islands, is amazing.

Our advice is to combine a water-based camp with a stay at a land-based one to get the best of both experiences.
