Lazy River Camp

Open-air dining area at Lazy River Camp overlooking a lagoon in the Okavango Delta

Lazy River Camp sits beside a lagoon on the edge of the Okavango Delta, where hippos spend their days in the water and elephants regularly move through the surrounding floodplains. The camp offers a quiet and comfortable place to relax before and after exploring the Delta on mokoro safaris.

Life at Lazy River Camp

Life at Lazy River Camp is relaxed and unhurried. Days begin with coffee and breakfast overlooking the lagoon before guests head out into the Delta, while evenings are spent around the fire or in the open dining area sharing stories from the day’s adventures on the waterways and islands of the Okavango.

Mokoro Safaris from Lazy River Camp

All of our mokoro safaris begin and end at Lazy River Camp, the Okavango base camp of Shangana Safaris. Guests spend a night at camp before departing into the Delta and again after returning from their mokoro journey, allowing time to relax and enjoy the surroundings of the camp.
