Traveler Reviews on Okavango Delta

Camp Okavango

4 of 5 stars
Sydney, Australia
Jun 29, 2008

This was one of seven lodges we stayed at. I was a bit disappointed, in that our purpose in staying at these lodges was to see game. Camp Okavango however does not do game drives. It has a walk across an island, a relaxing poling across a shallow river bed, and fishing. Other than that, you are not going to... more

Jao Camp

Jun 28, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My first impression of Jao was "wow". It is a gorgeous camp in every way - great communal area encompassing lounge, library, bar and dining area over 2 levels. Big stairs everywhere though which can be a little daunting at first. The rooms are enormous - at least 3 times bigger that most in the Delta. They are linked by... more

Camp Okavango

Jun 26, 2008

Camp Okavango was a fabulous experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable - the walking safari was amazing (and I was relieved not to come across any crocodiles whilst walking) We were made to feel really welcome by Michelle and MC and the rest of their team. The flight from Kasane was a highlight as was the mokoro trip! A great... more

Loved Baines,don't miss the Elephant experience. Sleeping under the stars, premium service, lovely camp. Ask for Martin and Wanco as guides, friendly people, good food. more

Duba Plains Camp

5 of 5 stars
Sydney, Australia
Jun 21, 2008

We spent a three very happy days at Duba Plains camp. The highlight was the very cheerful and helpful all Botswanan staff with whom we had a great deal of fun. The atmosphere in the camp was a great credit to the manager Molausi and his two assistant managers Tebby and Bogong The tented accommodation was of a very high... more

Little Vumbara Camp

2/2 found this review helpful

Little Vumbara is a water experience. Within the concession it is located in, there are two Premier Camps – Vumbara North and Vumbara South. We were met at the airstrip by Lazarus (Laz), who drove us the 45 minutes to the ‘Boat Shed’. To access Little Vumbara, you park the car at the ‘Boat Shed’, and take a speed boat... more

Duba Plains Camp – Wilderness Safari’s – 6 nights When we landed, we were collected at the airstrip by our guide, Rueben in a customised Land Rover. There were three rows of 3 seats, with the last row having less depth for your legs. Rueben briefed us on safari safety and drove us to the camp. Every time your vehicle... more

Kwara Camp - Kwando Safaris

2 of 5 stars
Sydney, Australia
Jun 17, 2008

Kwara Camp We found this camp run down and seedy with a management that clearly did not care. The concession area, (like other parts of the Okavango) is very attractive and the guides are comparable with other camps. The camp is at the east end of the concession area and as a result evening drives are unattractively into the setting... more

Chitabe Camp

4 of 5 stars
Miami, Florida
Jun 10, 2008

This was the 2nd of 3 safari camps we stayed at during a 9 night and 10 days safari trip. We went to Kwetsani first, then Chitabe, and ended with Savuti Camp. In comparison this was personally my least favorite of the camps due to many reasons comparatively, yet it was still very nice. Out of the 3, these rooms/accommodations... more

We spent 3 nights / 4 days from March 09, 2008 - March 12, 2008 at beautiful Kwetsani Camp. Kim and Shane were our glorious host and hostess. After visiting 3 safari camps over 9 nights and 10 days, each of the 3 were different. After our total trip to Africa of almost 3 weeks (1 week in South Africa,... more

I stayed here w. a freind as part of a 12 day safari of Botswana and Zambia's premier Wilderness Safaris Camps. It's a lovely Italian designed all wooden camp w. an Indonesian feel to it. There is a 1 km long wooden walk way up to 2 meters high in places directly under trees to the rooms making you feel... more

Little Kwara Camp - Kwando Safaris

Macclesfield, United Kingdom
Apr 29, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

Firstly, and I should've added this to my review of Lagoon Camp, I would like to say this has been the best trip to Africa so far. We were very unsure of what to expect, especially going in the 'shoulder' season, but soon discovered we had nothing to worry about. Little Kwara is a lovely camp with wonderful tents built... more

We stayed in Delta camp for 2 nights but could have stayed so much longer. I have never been in such a tranquil place. We stayed in the Tree House and woke both mornings to the sound of Lions in the distance. Our guide was wonderful and would meet us each morning before our Mokoro excursions. The food was excellent... more

Oddballs Palm Island Lodge

We booked a six day trip through DumelaBotswana and it all worked fine. The first 3 days were at OddballsCamp in the Okavango Delta, and the last 3 in Kubu Lodge on the Chobe River. It cost us $3,000 all up for the 2 of us, from including flights Maun -> Delta and Delta -> Kasane and road travel Kasane... more

We had 4 nights over Christmas 2007 at the wonderful Baines Camp run by Semma and Charl, the most lovely couple who make their camp run in smooth elegance. The accommodation is gorgeous and sleeping under the stars in our four-poster bed was quite an experience with the hippos munching all around us! The small pool and too sala's was... more

Kwara Camp - Kwando Safaris

We spent only 2 nights at the end of the dry season in Kwara and saw abundant game on all our trips; we were impressed by the professional way our guide, Donald, showed us around the delta and seemed to be knowledgable of every living being from elephant to the smallest bird. Its quite reassuring to trust your guide when... more

I would like to preempt my entry by stating that this experience may be a reflection of the time of our visit and may not be indicative of high season/dry season. We stayed two nights at Camp O. We chose this accommodation based on availability due to the very last minute planning of this trip. End of October is is... more

Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp

Nov 5, 2007

What can I say, this was our last lodge in Botswana and it did not disappoint us, fantastic game drives with brilliant guides. Our tent was lovely, we were fed wonderful food at every opportunity from porridge with whisky and cream early morning to delicious canapes and dinners at night. Sundowners on the Delta with a sunset to die for,... more
