Gunn’s Camp

Top choice in Okavango Delta


A beautiful option for those wanting the amenities of a high-end safari – expertly cooked meals, attentive service and wonderful views over its island location in the delta – with a more rugged sense of place. The elegant tented rooms are large, lovely and as comfy as you’ll find anywhere, but there's more of a feeling of being engaged with the wilderness.

What with the hippos, warthogs and even elephants that occasionally wander through the grounds, the abundance of water, and the great wildlife in the vicinity, this is a real delta experience and, compared with prices elsewhere, Gunn’s represents fabulous value.
