Ngepi Camp is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience. Situated on an island in the Kavango region, the camp provides a unique opportunity to connect with the Okavango Delta's pristine environment. The camp's location between Mahango National Park and Bwabwata National Park makes it a prime spot for wildlife viewing, with frequent sightings of hippos, elephants, and various antelope species. Accommodation options range from grassy riverside campsites to uniquely designed treehouses and bush huts. The treehouses, built to harmonize with the surrounding trees, offer en-suite bathrooms and stunning river views. The bush huts provide a more secluded experience, nestled in private gardens. Campsites feature solar-powered electricity, braai areas, and access to shared ablution facilities with creatively designed outdoor showers and toilets. Ngepi Camp is also known for its commitment to environmental responsibility. The camp utilizes solar power and redirects water and waste back to the trees, promoting a symbiotic relationship with nature. Activities at Ngepi Camp cater to a variety of interests. Guests can take a dip in the famous floating swimming pool, a hippo and crocodile-safe enclosure in the Okavango River. Other activities include mokoro safaris, boat cruises, fishing trips, guided bird and village walks, and game drives in nearby national parks. For the adventurous, there's even dragon river rafting.
