Botswana Safaris: ABU CAMP

Okavango ~ Premier 6 Camp

Abu Camp, set deep in an ancient riverine forest on a 160,000 hectare private reserve, consists of six custom built, stylishly furnished tents with en-suite bathrooms. Each tent has its own tree shaded deck overlooking a lagoon filled with bird and animal life. The main area is built on raised wooden decks that wind around African ebony and sycamore fig trees, creating a dappled, cool atmosphere.

The lounge and dining tent has a breathtaking view over the lagoon and also features a well stocked library and study. Sundowners around a traditional campfire are followed by five star meals prepared by expert chefs and served with the finest wines.

For a couple or family looking for the ultimate in bush luxury and exclusively, the Elephant Suite is situated across the lagoon. Abu allows guests the extraordinary privilege of being part of an elephant herd, to interact with eight gentle giants, meet each individual and begin to understand what makes the largest land mammal tick.

These elephant encounters provide magical moments including walking with the herd through the bush; being with them allows a closer approach to other animals than ever before. Abu also offers game drives, night drives, walks and mokoros to view the abundance of game in the area.
