Camp Okuti is set in the north-eastern part of the Okavango Delta of Botswana, under large shady trees at the edge of Xakanaka lagoon in the heart of Moremi Game Reserve. It's one of the most beautiful parts of the Okavango Delta within close range of shallow flood plains, papyrus swamps and dense riverine forest. Indeed the Moremi is rated as one of the finest game viewing areas in Botswana and indeed Africa.

Camp Okuti is one of the hidden gems of the delta - oozing charm with an authentic safari experience which ticks all the boxes. Camp Okuti has been completely rebuilt with just seven spacious chalets overlooking the Maunachira river flowing into Xakanaxa lagoon. All Okuti tents have en suite bathrooms with toilet, basin and indoor and outdoor showers. The new Camp Okuti has been raised off the ground and all the underlying land has been rehabilitated so that the carbon footprint is low.

Camp Okuti safaris are all conducted in open safari vehicles into the Moremi Game Reserve. You can also explore the Delta's channels by motorboat - heading upstream towards the upper delta. Be sure to take binoculars as the birdlife at Camp Okuti is superb, especially in the spring and summer months when the migrants are breeding. An hour's boat ride away is the world-famous heronries of the Godikwe and Xobega lagoons, which attract large numbers of breeding storks and herons.

Camp Okuti is quite unusual in the Okavango Delta in that it is family-friendly safari camp and takes children from 7 years and up (though they are a little flexible). There are two family chalets comprising two bedrooms sharing one bathroom for the ideal family safari in Botswana.
