Overview of Okavango Spirit Houseboat

Botswana, Okavango Delta

Okavango Spirit is an extraordinary houseboat that features an exclusive number of comfy cabins, with sliding glass doors and private decks. Here you will enter a world of wild beauty, comfort and total serenity. The boat operates in the “Panhandle” area of the Okavango Delta and is a remote escape where wildlife can be spotted on the riverbanks.

When you aren't enjoying the changing scenery from the boat, you will explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tsodilo Hills – home to more than 4, 000 San Bushmen paintings, one of the most important collections of rock art in Africa.

You will also spend your time searching for the Big 5 from a traditional mokoro or on guided bush walks. You will paddle alongside hippos, engage in community with walks to the Seronga villages and experience a unique kind of safari. After a day of activities, you will relax back on the boat, dine with your private chef, or with a drink at the bar and slow down to a tranquil pace of life on the Okavango Spirit Houseboat.
