Tucked away on a private island, surrounded by floodplains and grasslands, shimmering lagoons and palm-strewn islands, North Island offers an intimate Okavango experience. Brought to life in collaboration with local partners Nakwa and the Magobagoba Youth Trust, wildlife thrives between the wetlands, open savannah, and woodlands.
Featuring contemporary, African-inspired interiors, each of the 4 spacious tented suites sits on a raised wooden deck, under the shady boughs of wild ebony trees. You’ll enjoy spectacular views of the hippo-filled lagoon from all angles – be it in your private plunge pool, the sunken sundeck, the bathtub or the outdoor shower. Come evening, enjoy a delicious al fresco dinner on the deck at the main lodge, followed by stargazing around a crackling firepit.
Being at the upstream end of the Okavango Delta, this area receives the annual floodwaters first, which allows for almost year-round water-based activities and incredible wildlife watching experiences. Here, you can observe buffalo congregating on the edge of the water, and come eye to eye with hippos and crocs on a boat or traditional mokoro safari through the lily-filled channels. Back on dry land, go on a game drive through vast tracts of pristine wilderness in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, and the rare sitatunga antelope, as well as more than 350 bird species. At an additional cost, you can also take to the skies in a helicopter for soaring wildlife views, to see ancient rock art at Tsodilo Hills, or to visit local communities.
