Do you prefer to observe the animals in a different way than from horseback?
Even guests who do not ride have a fantastic experience at OHS – mokoro trips, speedboat tours, game drives, and guided hikes – there is an opportunity to experience it all. Non-riders meet up with riders for picnic lunches, afternoon activities, bush dinners, fly camps, and overnight stays under the open sky, so if you are traveling as a mixed group, you will still spend plenty of time together.
Accommodation
Accommodation during the safari is mainly Kujwana Camp, an exclusive tented camp beautifully located on the Xudum River. Here, authentic bush atmosphere is combined with high comfort – guests stay in spacious tents with ensuite bathrooms and can enjoy a pool, wooden decks, and Wi-Fi. The views over the floodplain often reveal a variety of passing wildlife, ensuring you are always surrounded by nature. On request, and at an additional cost, you may also book one of the two spacious Riverside Suites, both offering spectacular views over the river. During the safari, a stay at the so-called fly camp is also possible (see further below), providing a more secluded wilderness experience.

With outstanding comfort and private bathrooms, the standard tents, built on fixed canvas structures, offer everything you need to enjoy an authentic safari experience. The tents are nestled within the camp’s groves, where you are constantly surrounded by the wonderful songs of birdlife. Expect visits from vervet monkeys and perhaps even a morning wake-up by an elephant quietly feeding on marula fruit along the riverbank. With both double and twin tents, we can accommodate groups of all sizes.

Programme, Kujwana Delta Ride
The itinerary serves as a guideline. Changes may occur due to the movement of game, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances. Any adjustments made will always be with the safety and best interests of the safari experience in mind.
Day 1
Arrive at Maun Airport and transfer to Kujwana Camp – either by a short helicopter flight or a light aircraft plus vehicle/boat transfer (water levels permitting). After settling into your spacious tent and enjoying lunch or afternoon tea, meet your guides for an introductory talk followed by a relaxed 1.5–2 hour orientation ride. Dinner is served in our elevated dining area.
Day 2
Wake up to tea or coffee in bed, surrounded by the sounds of the bush. After breakfast, set out on a morning ride through the Xudum area: wade across lush molapos, pass herds of elephant and buffalo, and perhaps surprise a shy reedbuck. After lunch and siesta, glide through the channels in a mokoro canoe and watch the Delta’s colours shift with the setting sun.
Day 3
Ride about 30 km across floodplains and islands towards the Qwaapu River system. Stop for a picnic and siesta on a shady island, then continue in the afternoon to arrive at fly camp at sunset. Relax with a drink and admire the views before settling into your luxurious tent with ensuite hot shower.
Day 4
Give the horses a rest with a morning game drive and bush walk – perfect for tracking predators such as leopard and wild dog. After lunch and siesta, enjoy an afternoon ride exploring the remote eastern concession, crossing hippo channels and varied game habitats.
Day 5
A full-day ride returning to camp via mopane forests, rain pans, and acacia woodlands where elephant, giraffe, kudu, and other wildlife thrive. Picnic en route, and if water levels allow, finish by swimming your horse back into camp.
Day 6
A morning ride, perhaps on a new horse from our carefully trained string. After lunch and rest, set off for a special bush dinner followed by a night drive back to camp – with chances to see nocturnal creatures and marvel at the stars.
Day 7
Search on horseback for any wildlife still missing from your sightings list, followed by a barbecue lunch by the pool hosted by your guide. Afternoon is free for a ride, an activity of choice, or simply relaxing with a book.
Day 8
Ride east of camp through riverine forest and shady rain pans, with a chance of encountering elephants or buffalo. After an early camp dinner, transfer to our raised platforms and fall asleep under the stars, lulled by the sounds of the bush.

About Okavango Delta
Okavango Delta is one of Africa's most iconic and spectacular wilderness areas – a vast inland delta in northern Botswana where the Okavango River fans out, creating a unique network of lagoons, water channels, islands and seasonally flooded plains. The area is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is regarded as one of the world's most intact ecosystems. What makes the Okavango so special is the contrast between water and dry savannah. Here the landscape is constantly changing depending on the season and water levels. One day you ride through open grasslands and palm islands, the next through shallow water crossings, floodplains and dense papyrus areas where nature feels almost uncannily alive. Despite Botswana being a dry country, the delta acts as a green oasis in the middle of the otherwise arid Kalahari region. The wildlife in the Okavango is exceptionally rich and varied. There are large elephant herds, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and several different antelope species such as lechwe, impala, kudu and waterbuck. The area is also known for its predators, with the chance of seeing lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and the rare and endangered African wild dog. Hippopotamuses and crocodiles occur naturally in the waters, and the birdlife is one of the most species-rich in Africa, with hundreds of documented species.
