Splash Camp
Okavango Delta
Accommodation
Splash Camp is situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta, within the Kwara Private Reserve. Located around a natural waterhole, which attracts game year round, the camp features 10 spacious en-suite guestrooms.
Splash's style is contemporary and modern yet guarantees proximity to the bush and there is no doubt that the operators keep their promise of an authentic safari. Within the main area, there is a bar, and lounge as well as an plunge pool and a curio shop. Just in front, towards the waterhole is the fire pit where a light breakfast is served each day before heading off on activities, and stories are told before dinner in the evenings.
All 12 guestrooms are situated around the natural waterhole. All are en-suite with a flush toilet, double sinks and both an indoor and an outdoor shower. In addition each room has a private veranda with outdoor lounge chairs. Two of the rooms are family rooms, identical except for an additional adjoining twin bedroom for the children (one bathroom only).
The camp has a second satellite main area (within the camp layout itself) with plunge pool, dining area, lounge and bar. This can be booked, on request, for exclusive use for groups of 6-10 looking for a more intimate experience on safari. Such groups who have booked exclusive use of Splash Enclave will have no age restrictions.
