Abu Camp
About the hotel
Enchanting Abu Camp lies in the western reaches of the Okavango Delta, Africa’s largest wetland. Its vast concession, rich in water and natural vegetation, provides a habitat for a remarkable variety of wildlife. The camp consists of just six tents, blending Bedouin style with African heritage. Each tent offers exceptional comfort, with a teak terrace, indoor and outdoor showers, and elegant furnishings. The camp is named after the bull elephant Abu, a member of the local elephant herd. The standout experience is an elephant safari on foot, allowing for unforgettable encounters with these majestic animals. Pure luxury and adventure — right in the heart of the bush! Abu Camp also makes an important contribution to conservation, helping to make these extraordinary encounters possible.
Kids & Teens
Children aged six and over are welcome at Abu Camp and can take part in activities designed especially for younger guests. These include archery and nature-based exploration. No other camp brings you as close to elephants as Abu Camp — a genuine highlight for children and parents alike. Every safari becomes an adventure children will be talking about long afterwards, while learning so much about the natural world.
Experiences & Activities
Abu Camp offers exceptional experiences including walking elephant safaris, game drives and guided nature walks. Guests can also take mokoro excursions to explore the delta’s waterways, or join motorboat outings to observe its rich wildlife. Birdwatching and fishing are also among the activities on offer. A particular highlight is a helicopter excursion, with spectacular views over the Okavango Delta. Memorable dining by torchlight beneath the stars brings the wilderness experience to a beautiful close.

Abu Camp
in our eyes
Experience Botswana’s bush in a truly extraordinary way — by becoming part of an elephant herd! The camp not only offers extraordinary closeness to rescued elephants, but also actively supports conservation. A walking elephant safari through the African bush is a singular highlight, and one that will cast its spell on you.
Best time to travel
The best time to visit the Okavango Delta in Botswana is from April to October. These months fall within the dry season. From May onwards, the delta reaches its greatest extent as water slowly flows in from the Angolan Highlands, transforming the region into a lush oasis. Peak water levels are reached in the months of July and August . This draws a wealth of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo and an impressive abundance of birdlife.
Guided walking safaris and game drives are also ideal during these months, as the vegetation is thinner and animals are easier to spot. The cool, dry conditions and the high concentration of wildlife make this season perfect for nature and wildlife lovers. Clear air also offers superb conditions for photography and birdwatching.
