This Tented Camp
in the Okavango Delta, Botswana allows guests the extraordinary
privilege of being part of an African elephant herd, by interacting
with the resident herd, meeting each individual and beginning to
understand what makes the largest land mammal tick.
Set deep in an ancient riverine forest, the main deck, winding around African ebony and sycamore fig trees, has a dappled, cool atmosphere. The lounge and dining tent has a breathtaking view over the lagoon and also features a well-stocked library and a study.
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives, guided nature walks, bird watching (Abu boasts a list of nearly 500 species)
Time spent drifting on the tranquil waters of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro
Formal and informal talks will be given in the evenings, to enhance the elephant learning experience
ACCOMMODATION:
Six custom-built, stylishly furnished tents with en-suite bathrooms. Each tent has its own tree-shaded deck overlooking the lagoon, which thrives with abundant bird and animal life.
Getting to know the elephants at
the Tented Camp in the Okavango Delta of Botswana on a personal level
is a rare and humbling experience. Meet each member of the herd,
learn their history and begin to understand a little of what
makes these grand, wise creatures what they are. Watch the interactions
of the herd, how they walk silently and majestically along through
the bush, trunks swinging, ears flapping - and then join them.
Whether walking alongside them or seated in large padded saddles mounted behind experienced elephant-handlers, to join a herd of the largest land mammals on a walk through the bush is to see Africa from a completely different perspective.
