The Okavango Delta is a remote, pristine area teeming with African wildlife and birdlife, and is often referred to as one of the last true wilderness areas in the world.
Camp Maru is a luxury safari camp where guests enjoy Big 5 game drives, bush walks, as well as mokoro trips (dugout canoes) in the Delta. Professional game rangers ensure that guests are at one with nature, whilst hospitality and catering staff ensure that guests are treated like rockstars. With only 6 luxurious tents, visitors to Camp Maru enjoy one of the most intimate, exclusive and authentic experiences in the Delta. The camp is shaded by Leadwood trees and sits on the edge of an expansive lagoon. This permanent water source allows for year-round water activities and exceptional game viewing.
Spending time in the Okavango Delta with its winding papyrus-fringed waterways and incredible game viewing is like watching a National Geographic documentary play out in real time. The Okavango Delta is one of the most iconic natural areas on the planet and the secluded setting of Camp Maru makes it the ideal place to take “time out” and to experience your own Out of Africa adventure.
