OKUTI CAMP – MOREMI GAME RESERVE
Okuti is beautifully designed and very unique camp perched close to the Xakanaxa Lagoon and draws its influence from the Maunachira River which flows in front of the camp with its wonderful birdlife, fish and sandy river banks. The camp is built amidst the wilderness of one of Botswana’s prime game viewing regions – Moremi Game Reserve – and is a very comfortable and luxurious family friendly camp with just 5 Masatas and 2 family Masatas. Activities include exploring the Okavango Delta waterways by motorboat and the areas open lagoons and winding channels make it a birder’s paradise with herons and storks in the breeding season. As the camp is within the Moremi Game Reserve it does not offer walking safaris and vehicles are not allowed by the park to offroad.
