Based at the lovely Macatoo tented camp in the south west Okavango Delta. Wonderfully situated on a secluded palm island overlooking the Delta’s grassy floodplain, a 25 minute charter flight over remote bush, from the safari hub town, Maun.
The Okavango Delta is a beautiful, pristine mix of flat, grassy floodplain, palm tree ‘islands’ and mopane forest all interspersed (when the flood is high) with a network of water channels and lakes. It is protected from domestic animals and development and is one of the world’s foremost wildlife habitats, boasting huge numbers of elephant, large herds of buffalo, numerous species of antelope, zebra, giraffe, all the cats, hyena, crocodiles, hippo, monkeys, baboons, warthogs… the list goes on. Macatoo is a privately operated tented safari camp that blends seemlessly in this remote, wilderness setting. It’s an extremely comfortable camp – you’ll feel very spoilt – yet manages to retain a genuine ‘bush’ feel.
Intermediate riders and above, who are confident and secure to ride in a remote, unfenced area with ‘big’ (and potentially dangerous) game. Really good quality, fun riding with plenty of excitement on offer, but also options for game drives, afternoons relaxing in a mokoro canoe (water level allowing), bird watching or just taking ‘time out’. Strong child riders of 12yrs or over and non-riders are welcome. Its friendly and sociable, an excellent option for couples, families or mixed groups of riders and non-riders. (See detailed information for non-riding activity options and contact us for advice).
A welcoming, convivial and extremely comfortable camp with staff who care that you have the best time. Its in a superb situation for game; has horses for the discerning and always plenty of action and thrills, whilst getting the balance between activity and relaxation just right. Safaris aren’t an endurance test, you feel very well looked after but the safari experience stays very real. The camp atmosphere is always fun. You will want to go back!
