Top choice in Okavango Delta
Stylish rooms on slightly elevated wooden decks have a refreshingly contemporary look that you just don't expect to find in this dusty, nondescript border town. Many overlook the small river channel (as do the campsites). It also has comfortable, elevated dome tents for those without their own camping equipment.
The whole place is an excellent choice and is something of an oasis for those travelling between Namibia and Botswana.
