Location

NG32 is the concession area that is run by the community measuring 1225 square kilometers. It’s at the southern end of the Okavango Delta, about one hour drive from Maun.

It relies on the Boro and Santantadibe rivers for flooding – and is last in line to receive the water. In a dry year, the floods can be very low and patchy here. its shallow waters make it ideal for mokoro safaris.

After an early morning pick-up and transfer to the Mokoro station, the safaris are spent cruising quietly along reed-lined meandering channels and floodplains. You will enjoy the spectacular landscape of this unique region with a combination of mokoro excursions, and game viewing of both aquatic and land mammals and birds. You will also enjoy guided nature walks on the islands and floodplains of the Okavango delta.

All meals will be prepared and served by your dedicated chef in your camp.
