MONACHIRA CAMP

Designed Around the Delta
Located within one of the most wildlife-rich regions of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Monachira Camp offers exceptional safari experiences throughout the year. Surrounding waterways, floodplains, and riverine forests support abundant populations of elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and plains game across this remarkable ecosystem.
In addition to outstanding land-based game viewing, the permanent water channels attract hippo, crocodile, and an extraordinary variety of bird species. As a result, the region provides rewarding photographic opportunities in every season.
Water-based safari activities make this area especially unique. Traditional mokoro excursions and guided boat safaris reveal quieter corners of the Delta that are often inaccessible by vehicle. Meanwhile, morning game drives deliver a completely different experience, particularly during periods of increased predator activity and early wildlife movement.
