Discover the Jewels of the Okavango Delta

A full day at Mbamba Camp in the northern Okavango Delta delivers immersive wildlife action in a prime, predator-rich area with seasonal water channels.

Rise early for a thrilling morning game drive in an open 4x4, guided by expert trackers, spot lions on the hunt, leopards in the shadows, African wild dogs, elephant herds, and abundant plains game across floodplains and mopane woodlands.
Return for brunch and relaxation in your air-conditioned Meru tent, by the pool, or on your deck with Delta views. Afternoon brings choice: another game drive, a serene boat safari gliding through lily-covered channels (seasonal), or a traditional mokoro excursion for silent, up-close birdwatching and hippo sightings.

As dusk falls, head out on a spotlighted night drive for nocturnal thrills like leopards and hyenas. Return for sundowners, a delicious dinner under the stars, and stories of the day's sightings before drifting off to the sounds of the wild. Year-round excellence with top guiding!
