The camp itself consists of just a handful of luxurious guest mosasa (reed houses), all of which are raised up on teak platforms and have private decks with lovely river views. The main camp also boasts a comfortable lounge area and small pool. Situated in one of Botswana’s prime game-viewing areas, guests are often treated to animal and bird sightings in the area around the camp. Fish eagles are common here, as are hippo, crocodile and other small water animals, which are easily visible from your room, the pool area and the jetty.
Guests can explore the wildlife-rich area from specially-designed safari vehicles, as well as from motorboats, and the open lagoons and winding waterways make this a paradise for birders.
Okuti is the most intimate and interesting of the luxury camps in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve. The rooms are stylish and innovative, and the main lodge area offers a range of different places in which to sit and relax in comfort. Although the atmosphere around camp is always relaxed and informal, standards of service and food are extremely high.
