KALA CAMP

Kala Camp

Tucked away in a remote pocket of the Okavango Delta’s southern reaches, Kala Camp is a hidden gem that offers an intimate, off-the-beaten-track safari experience in one of Botswana’s most pristine wilderness areas. Surrounded by seasonally flooded plains, palm islands, and acacia woodland, Kala Camp invites you to slow down, disconnect, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

With its barefoot luxury, warm hospitality, and unpretentious charm, Kala Camp is a place for true safari lovers—where wildlife sightings, stillness, and serenity take center stage.

Accommodations

Kala Camp features just six canvas guest tents, designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding bush. Elevated on wooden platforms and shaded by trees, each tent offers comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers, and private decks with uninterrupted views of the Delta’s ever-changing landscape.

The central guest area includes a relaxed lounge, dining space, bar, and firepit—all under canvas and open to the elements. The décor is earthy and understated, echoing the natural tones of the environment while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Activities

Kala Camp is perfectly positioned to offer a diverse range of Delta experiences, with expert guides leading small groups through one of Botswana’s most ecologically rich concessions:

• Game Drives: Morning and afternoon game drives explore a concession teeming with wildlife. From lions and leopards to herds of elephant, buffalo, and elusive wild dogs, the area offers rewarding sightings in a low-traffic setting.

• Mokoro Excursions: When water levels permit, guests can enjoy peaceful mokoro trips through the Delta’s winding channels—ideal for spotting aquatic birds, frogs, and the intricate beauty of this wetland ecosystem.

• Walking Safaris: For those wanting to truly immerse themselves in nature, guided bush walks offer a deeper look at the smaller details—animal tracks, medicinal plants, bird calls, and the ancient rhythms of the land.

• Birdwatching: With its mix of wetland and woodland habitats, Kala Camp is a haven for birders. Expect to see everything from African fish eagles and kingfishers to slaty egrets and saddle-billed storks.
