Ker & Downey Okuti camp sits on the banks of the Maunachira River which flows through Xakanaxa Lagoon. This is in the Moremi Game Reserve of the Okavango Delta. The river has abundant bird life, fish, and sandy river banks. An oasis of serenity and peacefulness. It has been awarded five star status by Botswana Tourism Board and Eco Tourism Certified.
A wide variety of Okavango wildlife wander along the riverbanks in front of the camp. The Xakanaxa region remains one of Moremi Game Reserve’s best year round wildlife hotspots. This makes it ideal for repeat and first time visitors to Botswana.
The main area consists of a dining room, bar, seating area, and a swimming pool. There is an open deck for evenings around the campfire.
Okuti can sleep up to 16 x guests in the 7 x tents (2 x family units).
There are 5 very spacious twin or double bedded “Masasas”. This is the ancient tribal word for house of reeds. Exceptionally unique in style and architecture all rooms overlook the permanent Maunachira channel. Each en-suite bathroom provides both an indoor and outdoor shower. Okuti Camp’s spacious curved rooms are set on raised teak decks, with a balcony overlooking the river. Connected by raised wooden walkways all areas of camp are wheelchair accessible.
Double accommodation
Every possible comfort has been catered for. From standing and ceiling fans to yoga mats and hair dryers!
The Moremi environment is varied. With pans, floodplains, lagoons, grasslands, forests of acacia trees, savannas, and dense Mopane Woodlands. This unique ecosystem, characteristic of the Okavango Delta, allows for a diverse spectrum of wildlife. Coupled with effective protective measures results in huge herds of antelope and plains game, and the predators who follow.
