Kujwana Delta Ride
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 excursions, game drives and guided walks – there is an opportunity to experience it all here. Non-riders meet up with the riders for picnic lunches, afternoon activities, bush dinners, fly camps and overnight stays under the open sky, so if you are travelling as a mixed group you 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.

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.
