Ngepi Camp Caprivi - Namibia

Try our chill out accommodation ….. any of it!

Ngepi Camp, situated in the unspoiled upper reaches of the Okavango delta panhandle in the western Caprivi strip, Kavango region, Namibia.

With clean Kalahari desert air, the camp is set on an island under amazing trees with permanent river frontage and surrounded by seasonally flooded swamps. It is a paradise of flooded plains and secret swampy backwaters, teaming with wildlife, as we are nestled between Mahango National park, a few km’s to the south, and Bwabwata National Park directly opposite across the river.

Features of Ngepi Camp
Ngepi camp, your Okavango Swamp destination, built on an island in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta panhandle in the Caprivi strip Namibia, offers private and overland campsites with all facilities & stunning en suite tree-houses where you feet are ‘in’ nature—on the river. Unique ‘floating swimming’ pool in the river, Mokoro safaris, boat cruises, fishing, bird/village walks, game drives, bushman art trip, visits to Popa falls, lawn & shade.

The camp was started 20 years ago to entice the guests to enjoy the nature enough to leave converted, and thereafter to constructively fight for the environment elsewhere.

Environment
We have a strong environmental policy in which we encourage our guests to become involved, as we act as facilitators to help guests interface with the local San Bushmen and Hambukushu tribes, (read Dear Mr. Westerner) and so get an understanding of their symbiosis with the environment, hopefully stimulating a life long commitment to protecting the dynamics of the area, as well as constructively supporting a workable future. 95% of our staff are local people, and we work within their traditional social structures & value system.
