Okavango Horse Safaris- Fly Camp

A fly camp is a mobile camp, set up for short stays on specific journeys, and easily dismantled. It refers to the days when you moved your fly sheet rather than a entire tent. Nothing captures the true pioneering spirit of safari quite like a mobile or fly camp experience. The fly camping is only included on longer safaris by Okavango Horse Safaris of 5 nights or more from April – November at Kujwana Camp , their permanent camp on the concession.

Okavango Horse Safaris (‘OHS’) established the first riding safaris in the Okavango and continue to run one of the best horse safaris in Africa. Initially set up by PJ and Barney Bestelink  in 1986, has since been taken over by long time OHS veteran Gareth Peak in 2025 bring a fresh new feel to this well established camp. This owner run safari operator offers personalised and authentic riding adventures through the Okavango. Days are usually spent exploring on horseback with other activities like game drives and boating offered to enrichen the Okavango safari experience.

The base of the fly camp lies in the south east of the private Ranns Concession  in which Okavango Horse Safaris operates, in the western Okavango. This mobile camp moves with the action. Usually nestling below the canopy of towering trees . The set up is simple but comfortable, with side tables and solar lights provided. Ensuite bathrooms consist of washstands, flush toilets and showers with hot water.

The focus is horse riding but other activities are offered especially where non-riders are accompanying the safari. Itineraries are built around a 5, 7 or 10 nights. All safaris start at Kujwana the main camp, and only those on the 5+ night safaris will visit the fly camp. Please see our itineraries for more information.

Okavango Horse Safaris is based in a private concession of over 2500 sq kilometres which spreads across three river systems – the Xudum, the Kiri and the Matsibie – providing an excellent insight into the Okavango Delta animals, birds and their habitat.
