Located on the banks of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Okavango Villa can be reserved exclusively for you and your party, either as a self-catering retreat or with a full-board experience. Individual bed and breakfast rooms are also available. When reserved as an exclusive villa, the property is entirely yours, with no other guests and no schedules. Just the wild, the water, and a home that has been lived in and loved for over a decade.
This is not a lodge. It is not rehearsed. It is a family home that opens its doors to those ready to experience Africa at its most authentic.
Why Choose Us
Book the entire villa and it's yours alone: no other guests, total privacy in the wild. Individual B&B rooms are also available.
Why Choose Us
Hippos, elephants, and hundreds of bird species visit daily along the banks of the delta.
Why Choose Us
Situated on a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of Africa's last great wilderness areas.
Why Choose Us
Lived in, loved in, authentic African hospitality from a family that built it from the ground up.
In 1980, Benjamin lay beside a fire in Moremi under a sky full of stars. That moment never left him. Nearly two decades later, he and his wife Danell moved to Botswana, and eventually found a wild, untouched piece of land near Mohembo West. With four children, no roads, and no infrastructure, they built Okavango Villa from raw earth.
Not a lodge. A home. Theirs first, and now, shared with you.
