Karangoma is the result of a partnership with local elder Olatotse Sarefo and is rooted in Bukakhwe San and Hambukushu culture. The name itself is a Sembukushu word describing ‘drum beating, ancestral healing, bringing good future to the tribe, or, when one is ill, cure dancing’. It is exactly this essence of healing and harmony that the camp seeks to offers its guests in their reconnection with nature and traditional cultures.
And what better place to do that than the productive and beautiful Okavango Delta where this small, exclusive camp offers the opportunity for some truly special game viewing and connection with the natural world. Karangoma’s 6 tented suites are hidden on a shaded peninsula with gorgeous views out across the floodplains. (Wildex)
Standard Tents
(5 ROOMS)
Large, traditional-style Meru tent positioned 'landscape' in order to maximise views to the floodplain. Each tent consists of an open bedroom and lounge with floor to ceiling gauze facing the floodplain, as well as a separate en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a dual vanity. Each tent is styled around a traditional Hambukushu basketry design which has been modernised and printed on fabrics ranging from head board to cushions and cupboard backing. All power for geysers, fans, light and charging points is generated through solar arrays and evacuated tubes.
Family Tent
(1 ROOM)
Consisting of two separate but closely connected rooms, the family tent sleeps 2 adults and 2 children (an extra bed can be added for a third child). Each of the rooms is en-suite with the design and layout of the adult room replicating that of the standard tents: an open bedroom and lounge with floor to ceiling gauze facing the floodplain, as well as a separate en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a dual vanity. The children's room is smaller and more compact and consists of two single beds. All geysers, fans and lighting operate on solar power lowering our environmental footprint, while each tent has charging points for all electronic equipment.
Game Drives
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles with fully qualified professional guides comprise the primary activity in search of wildlife.
Night Drives
Night drives in open 4x4 vehicles with fully qualified professional guides offer a glimpse into the lives of nocturnal creatures.
Walking Safaris
Being on foot with a tracker and fully qualified professional guide allows for perspective-changing experiences with large mammals.
Mokoro
The mokoro is the traditional craft of the Okavango and allows you to silently explore shallow water in search of birdlife and more.
Boating
For long periods of the year (rainfall and flood dependent) the Magwegqana Channel is deep enough to allow motor boating along more than 25km of winding, crystal clear water punctuated by hippo and often fringed by lechwe, elephant, zebra and more!
