Abu Camp detail

Set in a 500 000 acre private concession of the Okavango Delta, Abu Camp lies at the heart of a pristine wilderness and is surrounded by the open floodplains, island sanctuaries, and papyrus-fringed channels that make this part of Botswana unique.

Elephants are reflected everywhere at the spectacularly stylish Abu Camp, from charming ornaments placed at the tubs to carved elephants on the dinner table, but there's plenty of the real stuff out there too. Get close to the area's abundant wildlife on dawn or late afternoon game drives, a perfect way to maximize your photographic opportunities. A guided nature walk or silent mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) ride through the channels will bring the smaller delights of Africa to your attention.

For guests under 17, there are many delights of the Bush Buddy program, which is overseen by a trained member of staff and includes age-appropriate activities, menus, and gifts.

Abu Camp, named after a very special bull elephant, is set in the pristine riverine forest within the Okavango Delta, offering an all-around amazing delta safari including both water and land activities and scenic helicopter trips. It is a small and intimate luxury lodge with tented suites, featuring private plunge pools, outdoor baths and showers, and elevated decks overlooking the African bush. A wilderness gem!

Rooms

Standard Twin Tent

Abu's six spacious and luxurious custom-designed tents are raised on teak decking with ample outdoor seating areas overlooking the delta scenery.

All the tents are stylishly and individually furnished with mahogany 4-poster or antique sleigh beds and carefully chosen artifacts and accents that exude African elegance. Each tent has an en suite bathroom complete with a copper or porcelain bathtub, flush toilet plus indoor and outdoor showers.

Facilities

Abu Camp's large, airy lounge tent is the perfect place to relax on soft and comfortable chairs in the beautiful sitting area. There is also a well-stocked and peaceful library for some quiet reading time and a communications corner for keeping in touch with the outside world - all surrounded by a wide wrap-around deck with delightful views over the lagoon.

Spend a lazy afternoon around the swimming pool or enjoy the view while you work out in the gym. Your children will love being mentored into Bush lore in the Bush Buddy program. In addition to child-friendly magazines, snacks, and welcome gifts, they will be able to play soccer or volleyball against the staff, learn to identify bird and animal calls, and even cook 'the bush way' by making pizza in a termite mound!

Dining

Most meals are enjoyed alfresco on the tiered teak decking that winds its way around the camp's African ebony and sycamore fig trees, or under the canvas of the main tent.

Bush picnic, sundowner drinks, snack baskets, and personal surprises complete the decadent African safari experience.
