Overview

Monachira is named after the Monachira channel which flows past the island on which the camp is situated.

The camp is raised on wooden decks to give one a view of the floodplains and wetlands which stretch out in front of camp. Monachira offers water activities, island nature walks and wildlife drives.

Based in the Moremi Game Reserve, these activities will take you to some of the more remote areas in the delta. A motorboat ride promises to enthral you and captivate you, with the chance of seeing iconic wildlife from the river. Glide on quiet mokoro’s through the water lilies and view wildlife from below as you sail along at water level height.

The camp is situated on the edge of the Monachira channel not far from the famous Gudigwa heronries, offering great viewing of this amazing nesting ground of thousands of herons, egrets and storks. A chance to see elephants, lions, leopard and a wide variety of Okavango species on the islands and floodplains along the permanent channels of the Monachira river. Also, a chance to see the elusive Pels Fishing Owl and rare sitatunga, a semi aquatic swamp antelope.

Inspired by classic safaris and infused with a modern flair, Monachira Camp seamlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary luxuries. Our double and family designer tents each contain an en-suite bedroom with modern bathrooms, patio deck and relaxation area, offering ample space to unwind in your own privacy. Shaded by the island forests, our 10 tents are ideally positioned overlooking the vast floodplains while offering unparalleled views of the wildlife frequenting the surrounding wetlands.

Activities

Birding

In southern Africa bird lovers are spoilt for choice when it comes to birdwatching. The region’s wealth of varied habitats attracts a vast range resident and migratory species and with easy access to the renown Godikwe Heronry Monachira is a birders paradise.

Boating Safaris

Cruise through the calm waterways of the Okavango Delta, exploring the most remote, untamed sections of its tributaries. As Monachira is situated in the permanent water areas of the Okavango Delta, boating is available year-round. Enjoy the uniqueness of a game viewing from the water, where you can observe the iconic behaviour of wildlife as they swim, drink, and bask along the banks of the tributaries, all from the safety of your boat.

Game Drive

Our game drives are led by experienced guides with an in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife. Travel in comfort in our robust, open-air vehicles, specially designed for exceptional game viewing. With a maximum of six guests per vehicle, every seat is a window seat, ensuring an immersive and unobstructed safari experience.

Mokoro

Inspired by native local people who used traditional wooden mokoros as a form of transport, a modern version of this dugout canoe is an exceptionally relaxing way to explore the reed-lined waterways and discover different creatures you wouldn’t typically see from a vehicle or on foot.

Nature Walks

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Okavango Delta with a guided island walk at Monachira. Led by expert guides, this experience awakens your senses as you tread softly across the island, unlike any other safari, exploring on foot offers an intimate perspective of the delta’s ecosystem. Here water levels shape the terrain, each walk is unique, revealing the intricate balance of life in this permanent water paradise.
