NORTH ISLAND OKAVANGO, OKAVANGO DELTA

MOSAIC OF ISLANDS

Just three tents make up this intimate little camp in the Okavango Delta, each raised on wooden platforms in front of a tranquil, hippo-filled lagoon.

Surrounded by a mosaic of islands and glistening waterways, this African-inspired sanctuary occupies a particularly picturesque corner of the northern Okavango. Its three tents nestle in the shade of wild ebony trees, and enjoy luxuries like plunge pools and sunken decks where you can cool off during hot summer days. There are cosy fireplaces for the cooler winter evenings, and a separate lounge and dining area where you can watch the local wildlife ambling by.

The North Island Okavango lies within a spectacularly game-rich concession roamed by elephant, big cats and the rare sitatunga antelope. With an expert guide by your side, you’ll explore this extraordinary ecosystem on land, on water and even by air, with activities that range from 4×4 game drives to hot air ballooning and mokoro safaris. Enjoy the rewarding birdwatching opportunities and try your hand at a spot of fishing.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91��.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”

Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91�� gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “91��”!
