This All-inclusive Okavango Delta safari lodge is positioned on a picture-perfect palm island offering a true Okavango experience. It effortlessly pairs pristine wilderness views with superb game viewing opportunities.
Over the years we have encountered many gorgeous camps but we’ll admit that this all-inclusive delta island safari lodge is regarded as one of the most beautiful outstanding, with elevated timber walkways leading past private suites into the main area which looks exactly like a whimsical tree-house.
The camp has been lovingly designed to resemble one of the many Delta palms dotted along its riverine islands.
This all-inclusive delta island safari lodge layout is thoughtfully designed and from the inviting lounge and bar area, you can meader off to the extended viewing deck with a fire pit - just the spot to put your feet up with a sundowner. You can also head out here after dinner to bask in the grand sounds of African nightlife and dabble in some stargazing before bedding down.
Situated on a picture-perfect palm island (called Little Duba) within a private concession, exclusivity and seclusion are yours for the taking. And when you’re not making the most of that fine-tuned hospitality, guided boat safaris and mokoro trips take centre stage. When you’re keen to stretch out the legs, you can also embark on in-depth guided walking experiences on one of the neighbouring islands in and around the lagoons.

Game Viewing 24/7
Experience the secrets of the Delta right from the comfort of your all-inclusive Delta island safari lodge. As a year-round water camp, the birdlife is outstanding and you’ll be sure to spot more than a few four-legged ‘locals’, including a regular appearance of those nocturnal beasties that arise after dark, namely caracals, civets and jackals.
Mokoros and Motorboats
What better way to become acquainted with the Delta than on the water where it all happens! While here you can try safaris by motorboat, but also by mokoros which are less intrusive without roaring engines, making it easier to get close to Delta’s bounty of birds and animals. These are steered by proficient mokoro polers who are incredibly informative and will provide an in-depth narration regarding what you see around you.
Visit the Heronry
Whether you love birds, or you're not too phased, a trip to the Heronr is an awe-inspiring experience, regardless. You'll be astounded at the sheer sight (and sound) of them nesting in the trees and surrounding bushes. There are all sorts to be found, from pelicans, marabou storks, herons, ibis and egrets. During mokoro rides, keep your eyes peeled for Pel's fishing owls and Giant eagle owls.
Getting There
The camp has been lovingly created on a magical palm island situated deep within Botswana’s iconic Okavango Delta.
The Okavango Delta supports some of the largest and most diverse populations of birds and animals in Africa, and this is one of the most intimate camps from which to experience it without the crowds.
The location of this camp is one of its most unique features, settled on a private concession called NG/24 or Little Duba and is only 1.2 km long and 700 meters wide. It is surrounded by seven lagoons with year-round water, attracting scores of birds and animals that the Delta is known for.
The camp can be accessed by a 35-minute light aircraft flight from Maun
