About

A hidden jewel on the Xudum River, Kanana is located in the Southwest of the Okavango Delta. The area encompasses a necklace of islands dotted with palms, figs, ebony and knobthorn, and is home to a myriad of birds, plants and animals. The nature of the habitat means it is the perfect place to experience the diversity of species found within the Okavango Delta.

Okuti lies alongside the Maunachira River which flows through Xakanaxa Lagoon within the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve. Okuti is built amidst the wilderness of one of Botswana’s prime game viewing regions and draws its influence from water which flows in front of the camp, with its abundant birdlife, fish and sandy riverbanks. The camp remains an oasis of serenity and peacefulness.

Dinaka, an exclusive private reserve hugging the northern edge of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, host to one of the most unique bio diversities in Southern Africa. This ever-changing desert landscape gives refuge to the Kalahari lion, springbok, Oryx and brown hyena.

Shinde Footsteps was rebuilt and rebranded at the end of 2022, opening officially in May 2023. Nestled on the northern edge of the Okavango Delta in the Shinde Private Concession, this charming and timeless camp grants guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature. The camp retains its delicate footprint and endearing character while offering a discerning safari experience. Days are spent exploring the wilderness areas, while evenings are wound away around the fire, down on the Kalahari sand.

Guests can experience the wilderness in the most traditional way – on foot. Walking is the highlight of a ‘true’ safari experience, and no special training is required, as the focus is on exploration and discovery – tracking fresh spoor each morning to reveal the previous night’s events makes it a memorable and immersive safari adventure. Guests gain an in-depth knowledge of the incredible way wildlife and habitat interact. For guests seeking to do a more focused and immersive walking experience, a skilled and highly qualified walking safari guide can accompany them throughout their safari.
