Okavango Delta
Camp Okuti
Okuti is situated alongside the Maunachira River where it flows into the Xakanaxa Lagoon within the Moremi Wildlife Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Moremi is a park rich in wildlife, and game viewing is consistent year round so it is ideal for the first time visitor to Botswana.
This luxury camp, designed in the African village style, accommodates a maximum of eighteen guests in stylish and spacious units, each on raised platforms and containing en-suite bathrooms, featuring an outdoor shower with an incredible view. Okuti is also extremely child friendly and boasts two family units with two rooms sharing a bathroom. The camp features an open dining area with stunning views across the lagoon, outdoor boma area and a swimming pool.
Activities offered include game drives in open safari vehicles exploring the diverse range of habitats within the reserve – from open floodplains to belts of mopane woodland. Guests can also venture out onto the open waters of the Okavango by motorboat, visiting the Xakanaxa Lagoon and beyond up to the seasonal heronry at Gadikwe. Moremi Game Reserve offers some of the most spectacular game viewing in Botswana and guests may encounter breeding herds of elephant, a hunting lioness or a sleeping pride of lion, grazing impalas, kudus and much more.
Facilities
Large tented rooms, en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, open dining, outdoor boma area and swimming pool.

Area Specialist
No off-road driving is allowed in the Moremi Game Reserve, so sightings can often be from quite a distance. Make sure you pack a good pair of binoculars, and your big telephoto lens for the best photography.

It is long overdue, but we want to thank you for meticulously organising exceptional wildlife adventures for us for the last 26 years.
That right, 26 years! Our first trip was to Madagascar for our honeymoon in 1999. I fondly recall Alan saying, “ it isn’t a typical honeymoon destination”. You have come to know us well over the years and you know we don’t want “typical”, we want exceptional wildlife adventures.
Thank you, Reef & Rainforest, for being our agent of choice for over 26 years and for consistently recommending and organising incredible tailor-made wildlife experiences which exceed expectations.
We are passionate about wildlife and photography, whether that is on land or snorkelling happily in pristine reefs. We have been fortunate to visit some wonderful places organised by you, including Madagascar, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, India, Africa, and Indonesia, often returning to discover new and exciting places. Each trip has exceeded expectations. This is attributable to your deep local knowledge, meticulous planning, relentless attentiveness to our wishes and generous time spent discussing the trips. You have often delighted and surprised us with personal touches such as organising a surprise birthday cake.
We just returned from Botswana having thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife adventure by tented camp. It was exceptional in all respects, and we are delighted to see that you have quoted us on your website. Apologies that we have failed dismally to acknowledge your efforts to date. We will share some pictures when we have edited them !!!
We are looking forward to Belize at Christmas and Misool in February next year.
Thank you, Reef and Rainforest.
