One of the pleasures of the Okavango Delta is experiencing it from both the land and the water. These Okavango Delta mixed-activity camps offer a variety of both water and land-based safari activities throughout the year. And not just during the Okavango flood from June/July to October. This is particularly useful if you have limited time and don’t have time to visit two safari camps in different parts of the Delta.
Why can they offer water and land-based activities? Usually, it’s because they lie on one of the perennial rivers or water channels of the Okavango Delta. These continue to run through the Delta, even when it’s not in flood. So you can enjoy a game-viewing boat cruise or a mokoro excursion out of the classic delta ‘season’ of July to September. Naturally the pattern of activities will be more land-based in the green season, and more water-based during the flood.

Are mixed activity camps suitable all year round?
Yes. Thanks to their location on permanent waterways, these camps offer both land and water activities in every season, although the balance changes as water levels rise and fall.
Will I still be able to go on a mokoro trip outside the flood season?
In most mixed activity camps, yes. Permanent channels allow mokoro excursions and boating even when much of the Delta has lower water levels.
Are mixed activity camps a good choice if I'm only staying a few nights?
Absolutely. They are ideal for shorter itineraries because you can experience the Delta from both land and water without transferring between two different camps.
They call this lodge “the Gentlemen”. Lighter woods are now used but there’s still quite a manly feel to the lodge. All in all, it runs very well and I would recommend it...
