Situated alongside the Maunachira River within the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve, Okuti is built amidst the wilderness of one of Botswana’s most prized game viewing regions, the Moremi Game Reserve. With its abundant birdlife, fish and sandy river banks, it remains an oasis of serenity and peacefulness. Take part in one of the land or water-based activities offered or simply enjoy relaxing in this beautiful wilderness by the pool or in your cool and spacious mosasa (ancient tribal word for house of reeds).
This unique 5000 km2 wilderness offers a diverse range of habitats such as mopane woodlands and acacia forests, floodplains and lagoons; a third of the reserve is mainland, while the remainder is the Okavango Delta itself. Hop on the motorboat to explore the wetlands, or head deep into the wilderness and see what you can find on morning/evening game drives, self-drives are also permitted if you have your own vehicle.
This range of habitats creates the perfect environment for an impressive population of diverse birdlife (nearly 500 different species can be found here) and animals, most notably, the endangered African Wild Dog, as well as Lion, Cheetah, Leopard, Brown Hyena, Spotted Hyena, African Bush Elephant, Giraffe, African Buffalo, Hippopotamus, Black Rhinoceros, White Rhinoceros, Lechwe, Tsessebe, Sitatunga, Blue Wildebeest, Nile crocodile, Springbok, Greater Kudu, Sable Antelope, Plains Zebra, Warthog and Chacma Baboon.

Flying from Shinde (Ker & Downey Botswana Camp in the Kalahari) straight into Okuti (also Ker & Downey Botswana) made the swapping camps so easy and with a scenic flight over the Okavango too. Okuti is in the Moremi National Park where we saw very few other vehicles/ boats. The wildlife was insane with a great wild dog encounter and much more. Okuti is a great camp, overlooking the water with incredible scenery. The Ker & Downey vehicles/boats are new and in great condition, with plenty of space for your extra, photography gear etc. and have fantastic photography arms. Great guides, tasty food, friendly staff and fantastic wildlife sightings including an epic leopard sighting.
