North Island Okavango
An exclusive gem in the heart of the Delta
Nestled deep within the lush heart of the Okavango Delta lies a hidden gem: North Island Okavango. Located within a private concession in the northern region of the Okavango Delta—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—North Island is surrounded by a mosaic of seasonal floodplains, crystal-clear lagoons, palm-dotted islands, and Mopane woodlands, making it one of the most biodiverse landscapes in Africa.
Accommodation at North Island Okavango
Accessible only by light aircraft, North Island sets the tone for exclusivity from the very first moment. With just four luxurious tented suites, the lodge ensures the highest levels of privacy and intimacy. Each suite offers sweeping views of the surrounding waterways, a private deck, and a modern, nature-inspired design that blends seamlessly into the landscape. The main lodge area is open and airy, combining a bar, lounge, and dining space in a relaxed, natural setting. A small swimming pool overlooks the nearby channels, perfect for a refreshing dip during the day. In the evenings, the outdoor fire pit provides a magical backdrop for sundowners and storytelling under the stars.
North Island Okavango is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. The lodge is fully solar-powered, operates without single-use plastics, and actively supports community projects focused on education, health, and conservation.
