Kiri Camp

Kiri Camp offers a combination of both game drives and water activities (water & flood dependant).

Based on a private concession in the Okavango Delta Safari Region of Botswana, these activities will take you to some of the more remote areas in the delta, previously inaccessible.

A motorboat ride during peak flood times promises to enthral you and captivate you, with the chance of seeing iconic wildlife from the river.

Glide on quiet mokoro’s through the water lilies and view wildlife from below as you sail along at water level height.

The wildlife in the Kiri Camp area is diverse and plentiful, renowned for its lion and buffalo interactions and rare wild dog numbers.

As Kiri Camp is in a private concession, off road and night driving are allowed, as are armed nature walks through the surrounding islands with knowledgeable guides.

Accommodation at Kiri Camp Botswana

Kiri Camp is named after the Kiri channel which flows passed the island on which the camp is situated.

The camp is raised on wooden decks to give one a view of the mighty Kiri floodplains which stretch out in front of the camp.

The luxury tents are designed to incorporate the surrounding ebony forest under which the camp is situated.

The use of wood, canvas and reeds are primary to the architecture of this stunning camp.

Safari at Kiri Camp Botswana

From game drives to untamed walking safaris under the care of our highly trained guides, there is always something to see and do.

Experience our unique water-based activities depending on the season, and the water levels during your visit.

As the Okavango Delta floods and the water-levels rise, our safaris take to the waters.

Inspired by native local people who used traditional wooden mokoros as a form of transport, a modern version of this dugout canoe is an exceptionally relaxing way to explore the reed-lined waterways and discover different creatures you wouldn’t typically see from a vehicle or on foot.

The word “safari” conjures up images of open-air vehicles, vast open plains and herds of great animals.

A game drive is an iconic way in which to take a safari and get in touch with the wilds.

Our rangers agree – no two drives are ever the same.

Each outing is ripe with potential.

Sometimes it will be a pack of African wild dogs trotting on the hunt and at others, it may be a lioness drinking at a waterhole with her cubs.

It’s nature’s version of the lotto.

Nothing heightens the senses like walking through the African bushveld amongst nature’s untamed creatures.

Every sound is amplified, every movement is magnified, and the sheer size of large animals is put into perspective when on foot.

A walking safari provides an opportunity to experience the finer details of life in the bush – both big and small.

What to Pack for your Safari.

Clothing on safari should be comfortable, and colours should blend in with nature as much as possible.
