The vast Abu Concession, set within the unspoilt Okavango Delta is at the heart of the rangelands of one of Africa’s largest elephant herds. Walk with Abu’s eles, as a temporary herd member, seeing the ecosystem through their eyes in a transformational safari experience.

Shaded by jackalberry and fig trees, six airy canvas en-suite guest rooms blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Each has a distinctive elegance and luxurious furnishings, sitting rooms, and generous private decks boasting outdoor copper bathtubs.

Contemporary central spaces enjoy tranquil sweeping lines and a feeling of lightness and organic harmony. These include a reference library, art gallery and curio shop, with a selection of quality items and jewellery.

Superb cuisine is served al fresco along with a selection of wines and spirits, and service is impeccable.

Daily activities are structured around the rhythm of the elephants. Game drives, mokoro and motorboat excursions (water-level dependent), ensure guests have the opportunity to search for the big game and predators which inhabit the reserve, birdwatch and make the most of the photographic opportunities.

Optional birds-eye-view flights can be arranged from camp. On request, spend a night under the stars in the raised star bed, lulled to sleep by the rumbling of the elephants below, the ultimate immersive experience.

Region

This stunning and unique wetland area is formed by the Okavango River flowing into the Kalahari Desert. It creates the distinctive oasis known as the Okavango Delta.

Comprising of thousands of tiny islands, some solely made of small salt planes too salty to support plants, around 70% of the islands were originally termite mounds, however they now serve as land for wildlife.

Being a rarity in that it is one of the only sources of water available for animals and wildlife in day light hours means that it attracts thousands of animals. This creates a particularly special opportunity for observing many different animals, birdlife and fish.

The Okavango Delta can be explored in some rather exciting ways - on foot, in a game drive vehicle or in a Mokoro to delve into life in the floodwaters. However you decide to experience this wondrous oasis, it really is sure to be the trip of a lifetime.
