Intoduction

Villa Okavango has been designed and built as a separate, private unit on the opposite side of the lagoon from Abu Camp. It boasts two large bedrooms with double four poster bed and a twin that can be converted into a double, as well as en suite facilities and a spacious sitting room - all on a raised teak deck beneath shady trees.

Magnificent old trees, including an African Ebony and Sycamore Fig, shade the multi-level teak decks which serve as a gathering point for the guests. Whilst most meals can be enjoyed al fresco, overlooking the lagoon, the hospitality area is dominated by the high peaks of an Afro-Bedouin styled tent that shelters a superbly appointed lounge and dining room. The decor items, redolent of everything that is African, would still look entirely at ease in a New York 5th Avenue apartment and the well-stocked bar and its never-ending supply of ice provide almost anything for which a guest would wish!

The emphasis here is on privacy and luxury in the middle of the African bush. Villa Okavango has its own swimming pool and a resident butler. It is designed for a maximum of four people or a small family.

Villa Okavango offers game drives, night drives, walks and Mokoro (dug out canoe) safaris, but does not offer any elephant interaction activities.

Villa Okavango has been designed to offer a family or a maximum of two couples the
experience of enjoying a luxurious home in a wilderness setting. The villa, on the opposite
side of the lagoon to Abu Camp, has two large bedrooms, one with a magnificent fourposter bed and the other with two comfortable sleigh beds. Both have en suite bathroom
facilities. The high and spacious main tent –in Afro-Bedouin style –also has a superbly
appointed lounge, library and dining room.
Magnificent old trees shade the tiered high-level teak decks which afford the guests views
of the lagoon with its resident hippos or the surrounding bush with its prolific bird and
animal life. There is a small plunge-pool for guests to relax and soak up the atmosphere of
the awe-inspiring wilderness surrounding them.
The emphasis at Villa Okavango is on privacy and luxury in the heart of the African bush.
There is a resident chef and staff and guests will enjoy their own expert guide who will
organize game viewing trips, night drives or expeditions on the numerous waterways of the
Okavango in a mokoro, the age-old craft of the people of the area.
