Mopiri Camp is a tranquil water-based lodge set on a remote island in the Okavango Delta, surrounded by the calm waters of the Weboro Lagoon. Accessible only by boat, the camp offers a peaceful, elegant setting ideal for relaxation and slow exploration. It features ten spacious tented rooms—seven standard units and three family suites—each built on raised wooden decks with large private verandas that overlook the lagoon. The rooms are light and stylish, with king-size beds, generous ensuite bathrooms, and indoor–outdoor flow that makes the most of the natural surroundings. The family units are ideal for those travelling with children, offering comfort, space, and privacy in a quiet, natural setting.
The camp’s main area is built under a canopy of ancient fig and palm trees and includes a large deck for dining and lounging, a swimming pool with lagoon views, and a well-stocked bar. Mopiri embraces a minimalist island aesthetic that blends well with its environment, and though it offers comforts such as spa treatments and hot water showers, it encourages a digital detox—Wi-Fi is limited, and the emphasis is on connecting with nature. The staff are warm and attentive, creating a welcoming and personalised atmosphere, with dining that is frequently praised for its freshness and variety.
Activities at Mopiri focus entirely on water-based exploration. Guests enjoy guided boat cruises through the Delta’s channels, peaceful mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions, fishing, birding, and nature walks along the shoreline. The area is rich in birdlife and aquatic species, with regular sightings of hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and other wildlife along the banks. Unlike many Delta camps, Mopiri does not offer game drives or predator tracking, making it more suited to those seeking serenity and a softer safari experience.
Guests are consistently impressed by the camp’s beauty, hospitality, and the calming pace of life. Many describe it as a hidden paradise, with particular praise for the attentive guides, excellent food, and the immersive experience of exploring the Delta by water. Families and couples like the camp's relaxed, welcoming feel, while solo travellers appreciate the quiet and space to unwind. Some mention the lush vegetation can sometimes obscure the full lagoon view, but overall feedback highlights Mopiri as an unforgettable retreat.
A typical day at Mopiri starts with an early morning wake-up and a light breakfast, followed by a boat cruise or mokoro trip through the waterways as the Delta stirs to life. Guests return mid-morning for brunch, after which they have time to relax—perhaps with a swim, a massage, or quiet time on the deck. Afternoon outings might include fishing or another water-based exploration, often ending with sundowners enjoyed at a scenic spot. Evenings are relaxed and sociable, with a three-course dinner served under the stars and time around the fire before heading back to bed with the peaceful sounds of the lagoon in the background. Mopiri is perfect for those looking to disconnect, slow down, and experience the quieter, more reflective side of the Okavango.
