Ngepi Camp, is situated in the upper reaches of the Okavango delta panhandle, in the Western Caprivi strip, Namibia. The nearest town in Divundu, which is 14kms away, 4kms on gravel and 10kms on tarred road. It is set amongst the flooded plains and swampy backwaters, in a region teeming with wildlife, nestled between Mahango National Park, a few kms to the south, and Bwabwata National Park, opposite across the river.

The lodge's main building has the kitchen, restaurant, dining area and bar with riverfront views. There is a curio shop with education centre. The bar is the place to head to exchange wildlife and travel stories with fellow globetrotters. Power is supplied to the camp by generator for 6hrs a day, the remainder is by inverter/batteries. Complementary tea/coffee is available at the bar and valuables can be secured at reception, where there is a metered telephone to keep in contact with the outside world.

For guests who like to swim on holiday, Windhoek has a namby-pamby heated indoor swimming pool. Real explorers and adventurers dive into the Ngepi Camp river, 'hippo and croc big cage swimming pool.' Only the brave and foolhardy do this, but proper stories of 'daring do' have to be earned the hard way at this bar!

Accommodation is in either 13 Tree Houses or 3 Bush Huts. Braai facilities for both can arranged and they are all equipped with mosquito nets.

• The Tree Houses have double/ twin beds and have en suite bathrooms. They are comfortable but rustic and have open views of the river. Some have been built higher than the others, choose a tree house to suit your athleticism and age.
• The 3 Bush huts are family units, with 2 bedrooms, (1with a double bed and 2 single in the other) and an en-suite bathroom.

Activities include overnight Mokoro and houseboat safaris, boat cruises, river rafting, fishing trips, (catch and release only) guided bird/village walks, game drives, a bushman art trip to Tsodillo Hills, and visits to the Popa Falls. For fun guests enjoy frisbee golf, volleyball, sunset tours and swimming in that unique floating river pool!

Elephant, lion, leopard, hippo, buffalo, the African Wild Dog and the rare Sable and Roan antelope abound in both the Bwabwata and Mahango National Parks. Ngepi is renowned as one of the best birding spots in Namibia, so camera's and binoculars at the ready!

Transfers to and from Bagani or Shakawe airstrips can be arranged.
