Highlights include witnessing fascinating predator interactions, and large elephant herds. Plains game, and the amazing birdlife diversity, offer fantastic sightings as well.
Experience the thrill of a night drive using spotlights to find some of the most amazing, elusive nocturnal animals. These often include lesser bushbabies, spring hares, aardwolf, servals, large spotted genets and, if you are extremely lucky, the elusive pangolin.

This spa sanctuary is further enhanced by the reimagined menu, which draws on locally sourced ingredients to provide healthier meals that add to the wellness journey, and are in tune with both Botswana’s agricultural heritage, and the latest thinking on nutrition, authentic flavours and sustainable farming.

Wilderness Qorokwe | Okavango Delta
25 Jul 2019 - 29 Jul 2019
The name Qorokwe means 'the place where the buffalo broke through the bush into the water' and is evocative of the high-density game area in which the camp is situated. The diverse habitats of the south-eastern Okavango support a wealth of wildlife, earning the area’s well-deserved reputation as a top Botswana safari destination.
Situated between two permanent rivers in the Okavango Delta, Wilderness Qorokwe is beautiful year-round.
Wilderness Qorokwe has nine tented suites, one of which is a spacious family unit with a private plunge pool. En-suite facilities feature an indoor shower with an inward opening door giving the illusion of an outdoor shower experience. Built on elevated wooden platforms, the main area includes a dining room, lounge, library, bar and an infinity pool overlooking an expansive lagoon. Highlights of Wilderness Qorokwe’s dining experiences include festive boma evenings and scrumptious pizzas from the camp’s bespoke oven.
INSIDER'S TIP: Keep a look out for the secretive white rhino which have been reintroduced into this area.

A luxurious and contemporary camp in a spectacular setting, Wilderness Qorokwe offers eight twin-bedded tents, plus a spacious family unit with its own private plunge pool. Raised decking connects guest tents to the main area, while mindfully maintaining wildlife crossings. With more than a kilometre (over half a mile) of walkways, guests can enjoy wholesome and scenic exercise within the camp.
The design inspiration for the camp comes from its natural setting in this extraordinary Botswana landscape. The result is a rich mix of natural materials and colours throughout. Bleached timbers, darker stains and accents of rust and burnt orange are used throughout. The materials chosen to build the camp include steel frames with infill panels to insulate against the heat and cold, as well as canvas and timber decks. Detailed timber ceilings perforated with light, mimic the experience of being beneath the trees at the side of the lagoon, creating a visual union with its beautiful surroundings.
Qorokwe has a very spacious family tent with its own private plunge pool and outdoor deck with shaded loungers, as well as a shared indoor lounge, dining area and fireplace.The main bedroom has an indoor bath.
Organic shapes, and textural contrast – from timber to steel and canvas – add warmth and comfort with understated luxury.

The Qorokwe Concession is defined by the Gomoti Channel in the east, while a large part of it lies across the Santantadibe River to the west. The safari traversing area comprises typical Okavango Delta habitats: seasonal palm-dotted floodplains, wooded islands, tranquil waterways, and dry woodland areas. This variety of habitats, plus the fact that the Qorokwe Concession has permanent water all year round, allows for a unique diversity of wildlife and outstanding game viewing during every season. Concentrations of larger predators may include lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyaena, and African wild dog. While various plains species typically seen are herds of giraffe, zebra, red lechwe and gnarled buffalo bulls.
Scan the bushveld during an evening drive for magical nocturnal mammals such as civets, genets, bushbabies, and owls.
A walking safari offers you the exciting opportunity of coming across big game on foot, as well as observing the smaller things you miss when travelling by vehicle. Step out in the wilderness with our skilled guides, and feel the thrill of being at one with nature.
* On request and seasonal (during the transition season of March to June, flora in the area flourishes, giving predators ample coverage, thus, making walking conditions unfavourable.
There is no better way of viewing the Delta and its wildlife than by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). Float along a crystal-clear waterway as you search for painted reed frogs, and beautiful waterlilies.
* Water levels permitting, however, generally possible all year round.
Seasonal boating excursions allow you to explore the more distant waterways, and the deep clear channels.
* Water levels permitting.
Cast your line, and try your hand at fishing on a catch and release basis. The camp has a limited supply of basic equipment for your use.
* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.
The camp itself overlooks a lagoon which is a magnet for avian wildlife. Or venture further afield to continue with excellent birdlife viewing which varies throughout the year, depending on water levels and season. These may include African hawk-eagle, ground hornbill, scarlet-chested sunbird, red-billed hornbill, and Gabar goshawk. Time to tick off a lifer.
Take a delightful picnic and explore on a full day excursion to the spectacular and productive area of Gomoti Plains, where wildlife abounds.
* On a minimum two night stay.
