North Island Okavango

Contact us

Located on a private island upstream of the Okavango Delta, North Island Okavango embodies the essence of an iconic delta safari experience.

The camp is shaded by a collection of enormous 30-50 foot trees and has stunning views of the lagoon. Being surrounded by diverse habitats, seasonal floodplains and open savannah makes for incredible wildlife opportunities in and around the camp.

North Island Okavango is set to open its doors in June 2023, so photos of the camp are to follow.

Why we like North Island Okavango

The Okavango Delta is home to one of the most unique wetland areas in the world, unchanged for centuries. Unlike other camps, North Island Okavango has water-based activities almost all year round due to its location on the northern fringes of the delta.

Designed with comfort in mind, each room has been styled by bold shapes, textures and contemporary inspired African design. Each bed comes with an ‘over-the-bed’ cooling system for comfort and is run entirely by solar power.

Sustainability

North Island Okavango contributes to conservation efforts and community outreach. Following a meeting with village elders and community members, the lack of education in the area was identified as a priority.

The camp now offer their support to the school and have donated basic stationery to satisfy their urgent need. They also partner with Conservancy Communities Living Among Wildlife Sustainably (CLAWS) and the communal herding programme to safeguard cattle, create employment, reduce retaliatory killing of lions and restore overgrazed landscapes.

Facilities and Activities

Dig into delicious dinners followed by stargazing around the crackling fire pit, or unwind with a good book in the library. This small camp packs a punch with what is on offer.

Curate your perfect stay with ease and experience the Okavango Delta in three ways: on land, on water and in the air. Game-drive through vast areas of pristine wilderness in search of lions, leopards, elephants and hippos, view the wildlife at eye level on a boat, or venture on foot with an expert guide.
