Overnight stay on a floating houseboat

The Okavango Panhandle is the quieter, untouched part of the world-famous delta – and from a houseboat you experience it from a truly unique perspective. By day, you drift slowly along narrow waterways, past reed beds and lily-covered channels, with kingfishers and cormorants guiding your way.

In the late afternoon, the boat moors for the night. You enjoy the sunset from the deck, perhaps with a cool drink in hand, while elephants gather at the water’s edge and hippos grunt nearby. As darkness falls, thousands of stars light up the sky – and the gentle rocking of the boat lulls you to sleep.

An experience blending safari, tranquillity and pure nature.

The Okavango Panhandle forms the north-western “arm” of the Okavango Delta – a peaceful, water-rich stretch where the river still flows in defined channels before spreading into the famous inland delta. The landscape here is lush, the water clear and the pace of life wonderfully slow.

A houseboat is the perfect base from which to explore this region. You’re surrounded by water from morning to night, gliding silently through belts of reeds with excellent chances of spotting birds, hippos, crocodiles and even elephants along the banks. At night, you enjoy complete seclusion – no traffic noise, no light pollution, just the gentle movement of the water and the sounds of the wild.

Less rush. More flow.
