This unique safari camp is situated on the remote Nxaragha Island. This hidden treasure, in the heart of the permanent Okavango Delta, assures its guests of an unparalleled year-round water wilderness experience.

Camp Okavango’s main area comprises of a network of interconnected walkways linking up two lounge areas, a dining room, a library, a self-service bar and a curio shop. Sweeping ramps lead to the lower-level deck with two open-air fire pits and comfortable seating areas to relax and take in the natural surroundings. There is a third deck with a rim-flow swimming pool and a thatched lounge deck for those warm summer days.

Each of the guest suites has been built on individual raised wooden platforms and set beneath the thick Okavango Delta vegetation.

As one of the original game lodges in South Africa, Notten's Bush Camp offers a truly authentic African safari experience. It is a destination that captures the true meaning of being in the bush. Family owned and run it is probably our favourite camp in the region. A magical atmosphere is created by minimal use of electric light, lamps and candles enhance the feeling of being at one with nature. Game drives are led by experienced and professional rangers in open-top vehicles and you're likely to see some if not all of the Big 5. Unique walking safaris are offered daily giving you the opportunity of discovering the smaller treasures of the area. There's a restaurant and bar area overlooking the bush, there is also a spa and swimming pool for relaxing between game drives. The spacious rooms have both indoor and outdoor shower facilities, a private wooden deck with a beautiful view of the bush. Paraffin lamps and candles replace electric lighting, and all the rooms have air-conditioning (and reading lamps and charging points for your devices). Activities include Game drives, Bush walks, Cultural Visits, Kruger National Park Day Trips, Boma dinners by the fire and much more.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.

High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.

This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities. 

Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.

Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.

Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
