Ker & Downey Botswana has announced the opening of its newest luxury safari camp in the heart of the Okavango Delta, bringing a fresh level of immersion, comfort and wilderness access to one of Africa’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Opening in October 2026, the camp is set within a pristine pocket of the Delta where seasonal floodplains, papyrus channels and wildlife‑rich grasslands converge, creating a prime setting for year‑round safari experiences.

Designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, the new camp features spacious tented suites positioned to maximise views of the Delta’s waterways and passing wildlife. Interiors follow a contemporary‑meets‑classic safari aesthetic, with natural materials, soft neutral tones and elevated touches that reflect Ker & Downey Botswana’s reputation for understated luxury. Private decks, outdoor showers and in‑room lounges allow guests to stay connected to the landscape from sunrise to starlight.

The camp’s location offers access to some of the Delta’s most diverse habitats, making it ideal for travellers seeking both land‑ and water‑based activities. Guests can explore the region through guided game drives, mokoro excursions, boating safaris and walking experiences led by expert naturalists. The area is known for its thriving populations of elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and wild dog, alongside abundant birdlife and smaller Delta species that make the ecosystem so unique.

A central gathering area forms the heart of the camp, with open‑air dining, a firepit and panoramic views across the floodplains. Evenings will focus on storytelling, stargazing and seasonal menus inspired by local produce. Sustainability sits at the core of the camp’s design, with solar power, low‑impact construction and water‑conservation systems supporting Ker & Downey Botswana’s long‑standing commitment to responsible tourism.

The opening strengthens Botswana’s position as one of Africa’s premier high‑end safari destinations, offering travellers a new way to experience the Okavango Delta’s shifting landscapes and extraordinary biodiversity. With its blend of luxury, remoteness and ecological sensitivity, the camp is expected to become a standout choice for travellers seeking an intimate, design‑led safari in one of the world’s most remarkable wilderness areas.

More details on rates, experiences and opening packages will be released closer to launch.
