MOPIRI

Mopiri Camp

Tucked away on the edge of a large, tranquil lagoon in the Okavango Delta’s western reaches, Mopiri Camp offers a peaceful and stylish safari experience in one of Botswana’s most water-rich and scenic areas. Located near the Guma Lagoon system and surrounded by palm islands and deep waterways, Mopiri is a gateway to the aquatic heart of the Delta—where wildlife, water, and wilderness blend into one.

Mopiri blends comfort and elegance with a relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for travelers who appreciate a touch of refinement alongside authentic bush adventures. It’s a camp for those who love the water, revel in open skies, and seek both adventure and relaxation in equal measure.

Accommodations

Mopiri Camp features spacious en-suite tented suites, raised on wooden decks and positioned to capture sweeping views of the lagoon. Each suite is tastefully furnished, with large beds, fans, writing desks, and indoor bathrooms featuring flush toilets, double basins, and rain showers. Private verandahs offer the perfect spot to enjoy birdlife, passing hippos, or a Delta sunset.

The main area includes a large thatched dining and lounge space, a well-stocked bar, and a lagoon-facing deck with a swimming pool. A firepit near the water’s edge sets the scene for evenings under the stars, while the camp’s floating jetty is a favorite place for sundowners.

Activities

Mopiri offers a water-based safari experience unlike any other, with a wide range of excursions designed to showcase the Delta’s unique ecology and vibrant wildlife:

• Boat Safaris: Explore the Delta’s network of deep channels and open lagoons by motorboat, encountering hippos, crocodiles, and a spectacular array of birdlife. Sunset cruises and full-day expeditions allow for relaxed, immersive exploration.

• Mokoro Excursions: Glide silently through the shallows in a traditional dugout canoe, guided by skilled polers who share knowledge of the Delta’s flora and fauna.

• Bush Walks: When water levels allow, short guided walks on nearby islands offer a chance to stretch your legs and experience the Delta from a new perspective—learning about plants, tracks, and small creatures along the way.

• Fishing & Birding: Mopiri is a superb base for catch-and-release fishing, with tigerfish and bream among the top targets. The birding is excellent year-round, with herons, jacanas, kingfishers, and raptors often seen from camp or boat.

• Village Visits: Guests can opt to visit nearby communities, providing insight into life in this unique part of Botswana and strengthening the camp’s community ties.

Additional Amenities

Mopiri enhances its safari offering with high levels of comfort and a deep respect for the region’s natural and cultural heritage:
