Okavango Explorers Camp - Okavango Delta - The Classic Safari Company

Prime elephant habitat

Okavango Explorers Camp is an intimate safari retreat set in the southwest area of Botswana’s private Selinda Reserve, within the Okavango Delta. Its location at the convergence of the upper Okavango Delta and the Selinda Spillway offers unmatched access to some of the region’s highest wildlife concentrations.

Designed in the style of a 1920s safari campaign, the camp blends vintage charm with modern comforts. The six tented suites are set on raised wooden decks with canvas walls that integrate with the surrounding wilderness. Each suite is furnished with handcrafted campaign-style furniture, woven rugs, and vintage trunks, creating a nostalgic yet elegant atmosphere. En-suite bathrooms feature eco-friendly bucket showers and flush toilets, while private verandas offer a tranquil space to watch wildlife gather at the spillway.

Game drives offer prime opportunities to see lion, leopard and wild dogs, along with rare antelope such as sable and roan. Canoe safaris and guided walking tours provide full immersion into the wilderness and phenomenal birding. During the dry season, the area becomes home to over 9,000 elephants.

Okavango Explorers Camp stands out for its authentic safari style, small size, and prime location for exceptional wildlife encounters in one of Botswana’s most diverse and remote landscapes.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Jenny Kidd

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

Elizabeth Mackintosh

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
