Okavango Delta
Run by the son of the owners of Drotsky’s Cabins, this lodge is remote – about 10km downstream from Drotksy’s – but serene and extremely picturesque. Accommodation is in several clean and tidy ‘luxury’ tents that surround a modest bar-restaurant. The main activity is fishing, though the lodge also makes for a great retreat and there’s good birdwatching in the vicinity.
Boat transfers from Drotksy’s Cabins cost P40 per person.
