The inspired organic design of the lodge melts into the surrounding forest canopy of wild palms and gnarled fig trees. Trees will shade you as you approach the lodge; an intriguing curl and sweep of shingled wood comes into view, resembling a giant scaled pangolin at rest. Stairs open onto the high ceilings of the copper-toned and glassless guest area overlooking the Delta. From this central dining area, the wooden deck stretches beyond the roof, while the upstairs bar and lounge extend along an elevated walkway to a viewing platform.
A series of decks descend to the forest floor culminating in a log boma, with a small gym and private massage sala close by. Interior finishes throughout showcase the craftsmanship of Botswana’s artisans, and feature intricate basketware, sculpted wooden tables and unique feature pieces. While the main guest area is set within the forest, the twelve guest suites peep out from beneath its canopy. Raised above the papyrus-lined banks like golden weaver nests, each is a cocoon of privacy, with breathtaking views, a private plunge pool and cosy fireplace.
Enjoy the best game viewing in the Delta: safari vehicle enhancements include bucket seats, customisable seat configurations, padded roll bars, charging points for cameras and equipment, strip lights in the bin of the vehicles, camera bean bags on clamps, and a cooling canvas covered roof.
If you’re looking for a thrilling view-from-the-ground, this is your chance to discover a multitude of natural wonders in the company of your experienced safari guide. Tread in the tracks of the Delta wildlife, breathe in the scent of crushed wild grasses, and feel your senses come alive.
Take to the air: scenic helicopter flights over the Okavango Delta’s mosaic of islands, plains, channels and lagoons perfectly illustrate its ever-changing beauty. The Delta is one of the world’s greatest natural phenomena, featuring a series of both permanent and seasonal waterways and floodplains.
