Camp Experiences
Horse Safaris
This is what we are famous for! Frequently nominated as being the Best Horse Safari in Botswana and in Africa, tick off your bucket list and travel with us! You won’t regret it!
Unrivaled Game Viewing
NG29 is the biggest concession with the lowest density of lodges in the Okavango, meaning the wildlife populations have thrived and best of all, the area is exclusive and very private.
4 x 4 Vehicle Safaris
Interspersed with horse riding, morning and evening game drives are a firm favourite in a 6 seater 4 x 4 Safari Toyota Land Cruisers equipped with first aid, drinking water, fire extinguisher, blankets and a cooler box with assorted drinks.
Night Drives
After dinner jump into a boat or vehicle to find specific nocturnal wildlife, specialist birds or just to sit in the wide open and gaze at the multitude of stars.
Boating Safaris
Also interspersed with horse riding, morning and evening boating safaris are possible in 6m – 10m aluminum swamp cruisers with 70hp Yamaha engines equipped with a cooler box of assorted drinks and snacks, collapsible directors chairs, first aid kit, fire extinguishers, blankets, ponchos and life vests available on request.
Mokoro Rides
Glide along the water channels in fiberglass mokoros – the traditional style! Fiberglass is used instead of wood for environmental reasons and it is also more waterproof.

WHY WE LOVE IT
LOCATION
Okavango Horse Safari’s main camp is known as Kujwana Camp and is set looking out over the Xudum River in a private concession to the north of the Okavango Delta. Watch the elephants wallow in the crystal clear waters of the delta whilst King Fishers take a well-earned break on the overhanging limbs of ancient fig trees that surround the lodge. The living area is the center point and heart of the camp, set out around the fire pit and sheltered under a canopy of trees. Guests meet here for breakfast each day and finish the day with a glass of wine around the fire. Enjoy a true al-fresco dinner whilst listening to the grunting and jostling of unforgettable hippo calls.
