Coming soon to Botswana: One of the world’s most remarkable safari lodges

The Atzaró Okavango Camp is set to become one of the world’s most remarkable safari lodges. Nestled in the pristine African wilderness of the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta, this ultra-luxury adventure camp is nothing short of magnificent. The latest venture from Ibiza’s renowned Atzaró Group, the camp is set within an expansive 1100 hundred square km private concession, providing guests with an exclusive and personalised game viewing experience, free from the overcrowding often found in other safari destinations.

Atzaró Ovakango promises to be an unforgettable journey back in time, blending romantic glamour with unparalleled wildlife encounters and specially curated guest activities. Expect a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience crafted from breathtaking surroundings combined with Atzaró’s acclaimed five-star hospitality.

Atzaró Okavango is situated by the Moremi Game Reserve, an area widely recognized as one of the most exclusive and wildlife-rich regions in all of Africa. Atzaró Okavango offers an exclusive and unforgettable safari experience, featuring luxurious accommodation and unrivaled access to nature. Embracing the essence of a bygone era in safari travel, Atzaró Okavango perfectly combines luxury with a deep connection to nature, embodying the expertise and pedigree that defines Atzaró.

The camp boasts twelve magnificent suites, including two private-use villas, each equipped with plunge pools and their own opulent “star beds” for stargazing while the sound of lions fills the night air. The interiors showcase Atzaró’s signature design, featuring parquet flooring, French mid-century furnishings, crisp linens, eclectic antiques, and stunning artwork.

Every suite includes a private deck overlooking the majestic lagoon and wildlife-filled waterways. All of the accommodation is equipped with modern amenities of the highest quality, including air conditioning and heating for chilly mornings, high-speed Wi-Fi for connectivity, en-suite bathrooms, outside bath and shower, and beautiful outdoor brass bathtubs.

During their stay, guests will enjoy the finest in hospitality, with infused cocktails from the unique Palm Bar, an exquisite fine dining restaurant, a fire-lit boma, an African art gallery, a curated art shop, and a well-stocked wine cellar. The camp’s wellness offering includes a state-of-the-art gym and an indulgent spa and rejuvenation treatments. Guests can take part in sommelier-led wine tastings, elevating their dining experience, while the exotic tearoom serves the finest “high tea.” Cocktails and champagne can be enjoyed around the 20-meter-long pool adjacent to the lagoon, where hippos and elephants become constant companions.

Private game drives, community visits, guided safari hikes, stargazing, helicopter safaris, candlelit dinners by the lagoon, and dug-out mokoro canoe expeditions are just a taste of the activities available, providing guests with unforgettable and truly unique experiences.

The Okavango Delta’s wildlife is diverse and abundant, thanks to its rich ecosystems and the Botswana Government’s vigilant efforts against poaching, and the protection provided by the World Heritage Foundation. The Delta sustains large concentrations of animals year-round, with seasonal and migratory variations. Careful management has made it one of the world’s most exclusive wildlife destinations. The camp’s experienced guides from African Bush Camps offer guests unrivalled sightings of elephants, hippopotamuses, lions, leopards, gazelles, cheetahs, impala and buffalo.

In addition to the captivating wildlife found in the Okavango Delta, the guides from African Bush Camps at Atzaró Okavango Camp offer guests unparalleled opportunities to witness breathtaking sightings of elephants, hippopotamuses, lions, leopards, gazelles, cheetahs, and an array of magnificent birdlife. The camp is situated in an area where a dynamic seasonal shift of animals occurs between the arid and grassy regions surrounding the delta itself. During the wet season, large animals migrate from the delta to the lush grazing plains of its outer regions. As the winter months approach and the grazing fades, the water entices the wildlife back to the delta, and flocks of birds once again making it their home. The emerald season in November brings the birth of herds of new antelope and impala, a favourite time of the Camp’s owners when thousands of new foals dot the landscape, attracting large prides of big cats.

Strategically located, the camp offers an ideal vantage point to witness this constant migration of exquisite wildlife in its thousands. At Atzaró Okavango Camp, safari travellers can experience the splendour of African wildlife in its natural habitat, up close and personal. The surrounding lagoons, rivers and plains create a landscape teeming with animals, fulfilling every wildlife enthusiast’s dream. Atzaró’s Okavango safari guides and staff ensure the utmost guest hospitality and service during the stay in camp.

Encouraging longer stays of 5 days or more, Atzaró Okavango invites guests to fully relax amidst the wildlife and immerse themselves in the soothing sounds of nature. Guests are invited to indulge in the wellness and fitness facilities, rejuvenate, and settle into one of the world’s last untouched wildernesses. Each private villa is equipped with its own vehicle and ranger, available for sunrise and sunset game drives. Additionally, a helicopter is permanently stationed at the lodge. Private yoga and gym facilities are included as part of the bespoke safari experience, tailored to personal tastes and schedules.

  1. We did our first safari 36 years ago and since then the rise and rise of safari lodges has been amazing. Nowadays the quality is outstanding.

  2. A private deck is always a nice touch on safari. Somewhere where you can relax and process what you’ve seen and done.

  3. The African Art gallery is a good idea. Completely in keeping with the environment and also a source of income for local artists.

  4. The Okavango is such an iconic destination and having another luxury property over here only emphasises the fact that people want to experiences this unique slice of natural wonder. I for one would love to go back and this Atzaro will surely be on my shortlist!

  5. From what I’ve read of Botswana, often on this blog, Botswana is becoming more and more appealing, especially with a lodge like this.
