- On the other side of the river you can watch hippos and, with a bit of luck, elephants.
- You can swim completely relaxed in the fenced pool in the river next to hippos and crocodiles.
About Ngepi Campsite
About Ngepi Campsite
Ngepi Campsite is located right on the Okavango (the river is also called Cubango or Kavango). In Botswana the river ends in the famous Okavango Delta.
The campsite is set up in a very close-to-nature, rustic style. The entire Ngepi Camp, which also includes huts and tree houses, has been lovingly designed by the owners. The owners are also committed to sustainability, so for example there is solar power and all bottles are collected and taken to Johannesburg for recycling.

Your accommodation
There are 20 campsites on a grassy area. Most campsites are right on the bank of the Okavango River and under trees that provide pleasant shade. Only the bush campsites are a little more remote and do not offer a view of the river.
All pitches are equipped with a solar-powered electricity connection (220 V). Electricity is available between 10am and 10pm. There is also a tap and a firepit. However, there is no grill rack.
The communal sanitary facilities are very quirky but lovingly designed. The special feature: all the showers and toilets are outdoors.
There is a fenced pool located directly in the Okavango River. The pool is fenced because there are crocodiles and hippos in the Okavango. So it is also a little adventure to go swimming here.
The restaurant serves meals and in the evening a set menu.
