The Pinnacle of Luxury Across Botswana’s Wilds
Atzaró Okavango Camp
Where Wilderness Meets Refined Wonder
Tucked within a pristine private concession in the southern Okavango Delta, Atzaró Okavango is more than a safari camp — it’s an ode to elegance in the heart of the wild. Here, the rhythm of the bush is softened by the indulgence of design: just eight opulent suites and two family villas, each with private plunge pools and panoramic lagoon views, promise serene exclusivity.
This is a place where mornings begin with the soft glow of sunrise and the distant call of lions, and end with candlelit bush feasts beneath a galaxy of stars. In between, the Delta unfolds: game drives led by expert trackers, silent mokoro journeys through lily-filled channels, immersive walking safaris, and helicopter flights over Botswana’s watery wilderness.
Crafted sustainably with solar power and recycled materials, the camp blends raw nature with polished luxury — canvas, copper, and artisan textures under soaring thatch. Guests describe it as “cinematic,” “otherworldly,” and deeply moving — a rare space where intimacy, style, and safari storytelling converge.
Duba Plains
Camp
A Canvas of Elegance in the Okavango Wilderness
Perched on a remote island in the legendary Moremi Game Reserve, Duba Plains Camp is where refined design and untamed beauty converge. With just ten luxurious tented suites — each offering private plunge pools, secluded decks overlooking wildlife-rich channels, and décor inspired by the Delta’s organic palette — Duba feels like an artful sanctuary amid the wild.
Days unfold like a bespoke narrative: start with sunrise mokoro journeys gliding through lily-fringed waterways, followed by private game drives that bring you face-to-face with elephant herds, hunting prides, and elusive leopards. Afternoons can be spent cooling off in your plunge pool or curled up with a curated book in your private lounge, as hippos graze nearby.
Evenings at Duba are designed for soulful connection. Imagine candlelit bush dinners beneath a fresco of endless skies, share whispered stories around a crackling firepit, or pause to watch waterbuck come to sip at twilight.
Duba Plains Camp is more than a safari lodge: it’s a poetic ode to the Delta, a quiet masterpiece of style, space, and safari storytelling that lingers long after you’ve returned home.
Xigera Safari Lodge
Where Masterful Design & Eco-Conscious Spirit Meet the Okavango Delta
Xigera Safari Lodge sits on a private island in Botswana’s western Okavango Delta, its stilted walkways winding above flood-lit lily channels and cathedral stands of jackalberry. Conceived by the Tollman family and architect Anton de Kock, the lodge feels less like accommodation and more like a living gallery: every suite, deck, and salon showcases bespoke pieces by more than eighty African artists and artisans, from bronze-and-leather loungers to a hand-carved totem bar. Pillowed glass walls frame hippos surfacing at dawn, while a sculptural fire pit anchors evenings beneath the constellations.
Luxury here is inseparable from conscience. Solar panels supply more than ninety-five per cent of the lodge’s power, water is recycled through reed-bed wetlands, and the timbers that raise each structure protect delicate understorey grasses. Days unfold at an unhurried Delta rhythm: glide across mirror channels in a glass-bottom mokoro, track leopards on a private game drive, or drift in the lodge’s Baobab Treehouse, a three-storey sleep-out that opens to uninterrupted sky. Afternoon spa rituals feature indigenous botanicals and Tata Harper treatments, followed by chef-curated dinners celebrating regional produce and South African vintages.
With only twelve river-facing suites, service is intuitive and deeply personal; staff know your favourite sundowner, your ideal pillow, your penchant for heli-flips at golden hour. In partnership with Design Afrique, Xigera becomes an even more curated experience—exclusive-use boat cruises, conservation briefings with field researchers, seamless charters from Maun—ensuring that every moment feels purpose-driven, art-infused, and entirely your own.
