Monachira Camp

Monachira Camp is named after the Monachira channel in the Moremi Game Reserve which flows past the island on which the camp is situated. The camp is raised on wooden decks to give one a view of the floodplains and wetlands. Monachira offers water activities, island nature walks and wildlife game drives.

Based in the Moremi Game Reserve, these activities will take you to some of the more remote areas in the Okavango Delta. A motorboat ride promises to enthral you and captivate you, with the chance of seeing iconic wildlife from the river. Glide on quiet mokoro’s through the water lilies and view wildlife from below as you sail along at water level height.

Monachira Camp is situated on the edge of the Monachira channel not far from the famous Gudigwa heronries, offering great viewing of this amazing nesting ground of thousands of herons, egrets and storks. A chance to see elephants, lions, leopard and a wide variety of Okavango species on the islands and floodplains along the permanent channels of the Monachira river. Also, a chance to see the elusive Pels Fishing Owl and rare sitatunga, a semi aquatic swamp antelope.
