Botswana’s Okavango Delta
You plunge right in to your safari experience in Botswana's inland Okavango Delta, a vast unspoiled region rich in birds, fish and wildlife. Your adventure begins with your flight in to your luxury bush camp by light aircraft. The elephant herd is there to meet you on arrival.

Between elephant back excursions, explore the waters and experience the bird life of the Delta by dugout canoe (mokoro). Take interpretive bush walks and 4x4 safari drives with experienced guides.

Camping in ultimate luxury
Guests experience the luxury of a 5+star hotel without compromising the full wilderness experience and the ambiance of sleeping under canvas with all the sounds of an African night.
Relax on your own private teak deck with unrestricted views across the lagoon or surrounding wilderness. You are pampered day and night, with attention to every detail and need.

The elephant camp was established by Randall Moore, committed to saving elephants from captivity. Since those early days, the elephant herd has flourished and grown in this Eden under African skies.

The Seasons
The elephant camp is closed from mid-November to mid-February, during the hot wet months. Each season throughout the year offers special attraction.

By March the rains have subsided and the air is drier. Water is plentiful and wildlife disperses across the vast savannas, actively breeding and feeding in anticipation of the dry season ahead.

By May the rains have stopped and herds of elephant, buffalo and other wildlife congregate close to sources of permanent water. The grasses, now dry and brown, make it easier for predators to stalk their prey in their camouflage of sandy-color coats.

In June and July the flood waters arrive in the Okavango Delta from Angola. Grasses are lower, providing excellent conditions for viewing wildlife. Nights are mild and days are pleasant and warm. More and more animals start to congregate around permanent sources of water and mokoro canoe excursions provide an exciting experience.

Towards September the water levels start to drop, marking the start of nesting season for herrings, storks and other birdlife. In this dry season, there is less foliage or long grasses to hide the wildlife and game viewing is excellent.

November brings much needed rain to quench the thirst of the flora and fauna. Mothers eat their fill of the new grassy shoots to gain strength to feed their young. It is a busy time too for the predators.
