For the ultimate African experience, pair a sophisticated stay in Cape Town, with a wildly luxurious escape in the Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Last year, Atzaró Group opened two stunning new properties, Atzaró Cape Town and Atzaró Okavango designed to complement one another and create the ultimate African odyssey.
Begin your journey with a direct flight to Cape Town, where you can check into the newly opened Atzaró Cape Town, an intimate small luxury hotel (pictured above) set at the foot of Table Mountain. This stylish contemporary retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views over the adjacent mountain range and city bowl, providing the perfect setting to unwind after a long-haul flight and to explore the wonders of the Cape.
The iconic Table Mountain, on the doorstep, is a must to visit, whether hiking the national park directly from the hotel or by cable car. A Winelands tour just has to be done, to explore the region’s vineyards, and Boulders Beach is a favourite to catch the penguins.
After a few days of discovering the vibrant city, continue your journey with a short flight to Botswana, where a private helicopter will be waiting to whisk you to the Atzaró Okavango camp, a 20-minute ride away.
Atzaró Okavango Camp, the latest luxury-stay from the renowned Ibiza-based Atzaró Group, opened in 2024 and sets a new standard of safari in Botswana. This stunning oasis marries the glamour and allure of a classic safari experience with modern principles of conservation, sustainability, and authenticity. Positioned in a private concession at the heart of the country’s Okavango Delta, Atzaró Okavango Camp offers exclusive access to one of the world’s most iconic wildlife areas. This remarkable location ensures absolute privacy and immersion in nature, while the camp’s accommodation and thoughtful service provide an unparalleled experience. Guests embark on guided game drives with expert trackers, spotting elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the rare African wild dog.
Located between the Moremi Game Reserve and the Gomoti Plains this area is widely recognised as one of the most exclusive and wildlife-rich regions in all of Africa. Atzaró Okavango Camp has partnered with African Bush Camps, a world-renowned provider of extraordinary safari experiences, ensuring only the best local bush knowledge and guiding expertise.
There are 12 romantic suites, eight stand-alone, plus two private villas which contain two suites each, all with plunge pools and elevated star-beds for the ultimate celestial evenings. An adjoining private viewing deck is the perfect spot for relaxing sundowners. Interiors feature parquet flooring, mid-century furnishings and antiques, the feel is a vintage and relaxed mix, with opulent African textiles, rugs, and canopied king-size beds.
During their stay, guests enjoy the finest hospitality, with infused cocktails from the Palm Bar, an exquisite fine dining area, a fire-lit boma, curated art gallery and boutique, plus wine cellar. The camp’s unique wellness offering includes a state-of-the-art gym, yoga shala and an indulgent spa area with rejuvenating treatments. Guests can partake in sommelier-led wine tastings, and high-tea served on the observation deck, or cocktails and champagne at the 20-meter-long pool area adjacent to the lagoon, where hippos and elephants become constant companions. An Ancestral Boma area provides a sacred space dedicated to the region’s past generations, a perfect space for delicious sundowners before a thrilling safari night drive into the bush.
The Okavango Delta has been described as one of the last paradises and is a year-round nature-rich haven. With two distinct seasons, this abundant landscape is a must for nature enthusiasts. During the dry season, the annual flood water arrives, enticing animals and birds to this pristine aquatic ecosystem. During the dry winter months, elephants cross to remote islands, and there are concentrated animal sightings on the water. In the wet season, also known as the emerald season, migratory birds descend from the north and herbivores give birth in droves, luring carnivores into the area to hunt and feed. A safari at this time of the year promises dramatic afternoon thunderstorms and balmy evenings, vibrant birdlife, bright night skies perfect for spotting the stars and rejuvenated landscapes for vivid photographic safaris.
Activities include comfortable private guided game drives and night drives, as well as local community visits. There are guided safari hikes on foot, helicopter safaris, bush dining, open air cinema, photography safaris, fishing and dug-out mokoro canoe expeditions. For families there is a full range of children’s activities to enjoy.
Encouraging longer stays of 5 days or more, Atzaró Okavango Camp invites guests to fully relax amidst the wildlife and immerse themselves in the soothing sounds of nature. Guests are invited to indulge in the wellness and fitness facilities, able to follow their regimes, rejuvenate, and settle into the experience. Each private villa is equipped with its own vehicle and ranger, enhancing this ultimate safari stay.
