Abu Camp

Abu Camp is an elegant, luxury safari camp in Botswana’s astonishing Okavango Delta.

Abu promises a wonderland of ever-changing habitats that invite you to explore further.

On foot, game drives or a thrilling helicopter ride you can marvel at the profusion of game and aquatic wildlife, and the predators that pursue them: lions, leopards, and hyenas, as well as smaller carnivores.

Birding at Abu is exceptional – scan the skies for soaring raptors, and in the wetlands look for brilliant malachite kingfishers and rufous-bellied herons.

Take to the skies on a helicopter safari and scan for epic wildlife crossing the serpentine channels – unforgettable.

The Abu Private Reserve is the second-largest private wildlife management area in the Okavango Delta.

Abu Camp overlooks an iconic Delta lagoon and is surrounded by a remarkable mosaic of habitats and an abundance of wildlife.

The reserve provides both waterborne and land-based activities, showcasing the true diversity of the Okavango. This is explorer elegance at its most authentic.
