Wilderness Qorokwe

Wilderness Qorokwe is a striking and contemporary-styled luxury camp set in a prime location, on a private concession in the game-rich southern reaches of the Okavango Delta. Wildlife is rich and varied here, with particularly good predator sightings. The eight large and comfortable suites each feature private pools and have been designed to maximise the impact of the Delta vistas. Sleek, minimalist water features mirror the water of the lagoon.

The name Qorokwe means “the place where the buffalo broke through the bush into the water" evoking the high-density game area in which this camp is situated. It owes its productivity to a mix of habitat types that lie between its western and eastern borders: the Santantadibe and Gomoti Channels respectively.

Qorokwe Camp combines a contemporary style with a classic bush feel. Its nine tented suites (including one very spacious family unit with its own private plunge pool) are well shaded and catch the prevailing breeze. The whole camp, including the magnificent main area, overlooks a lagoon and its infinity pool is a focal point for the expansive views.

The magnificent main area overlooks a productive lagoon and the dining area, lounge, library and bar are built on raised wooden platforms, connected by walkways. The camp marries minimalist clean lines and a stylish contemporary aesthetic with a real connection with the natural world. The rooms and main areas are modernist: flat-roofed with wood panels, wrought iron and geometric shapes and large sliding doors that welcome in and frame the magnificent wilderness of the Delta. Traditional touches such as woven baskets provide a connection with the ancient but still practised arts of the people of Botswana. Peaceful rectangular water features edge the lounge area and frame the view onto the lagoon. The generously sized infinity pool is set slightly lower and adjacent to the firepit.

In addition to Qorokwe’s commitment to a light carbon footprint, including 100% solar-generated power, this camp plays an important role in the empowerment of local communities through job creation and other income-generating opportunities.

About the Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is a vast inland river delta in northern Botswana. It's known for its sprawling grassy plains, which flood seasonally, becoming a lush animal habitat. The Moremi Game Reserve occupies the east and central areas of the region. Here, dugout canoes are used to navigate past hippos, elephants and crocodiles. On dry land, wildlife includes lions, leopards, giraffes and rhinos.
