I could run out of superlatives to describe how good the Nako Okavango river camp is. What they have created here is hard to believe. A beautiful set of tent cabins set beside the river. (Camping available also). Everything used in the building and grounds are top quality, the carpentry and building are excellent, water pressure, swimming pool, security lights; nothing has been skimped on. The main restaurant/bar area looks out over the river and the cabins are in a wide arc along the banks under flowing trees. Inside the cabins are comfy beds with top quality linen, doonas, blankets and pillows with draping mosquito nets. Flaps on the flywire windows can be opened for the air and views. Very hot water showers, fridge and a deck with chairs to sit out on. I have to mention the greatest assets are Mike the owner and manager Regina. Mike is such a larger than life fellow with many interesting and humorous stories of an amazing life. He’s also a quality chef and made 3 wonderful dinners for us. They are both so friendly and helpful and really made our stay wonderful. Regina can also do clothes washing if needed. They also organised a Mokoro canoe trip for us, which was really worthwhile. And directed us to the Duck cafe near the airport, best coffee in Maun! It’s about 15 minutes outside Maun just off the bitumen road, there is a large sign on the highway. The short dirt road in was hard packed and easily passable in our 2wd corolla.

All great

The location is amazing. In a remote location so very peaceful. I was there in the dry season so no water in the river, and no wild animals but bird life very interesting. Should be a wonderful location for birds and animals when the river is flowing. All staff very helpful and very supportive. Breakfast and dinner options limited at times however totally acceptable. In early September, though 25 - 35C during the day, it can get cold at night (10 - 15C) but plenty of thick bedding provided so never cold in bed.

Nothing. A lovely tented campsite. Will definitely look to return here in future.

We loved our stay at Nako Okavango guesthouse! All the staff were welcoming and friendly, especially Mike and Regina! We had dinner here two nights and the food was excellent! Bed was comfortable and the water was hot, overall a great experience.

Just be aware that you are in the country and there will be some noise at night from the surrounding area. There was also no water in the lake at the time we were there (the water hadn’t made it down far enough yet).

Room was great. Staff very helpful and friendly and food was good.

We had a situation where we booked a tent, however there was a miscommunication between the owner and myself. We had to confirm that we will arrive, for the tent to be erected. This was not clear on booking.com. We did receive discount for a room due to this, however it did cost additional money due to the above.

The location and staff were brilliant! We booked at the last minute due to car trouble, close enough to Maun for convenience and yet you feel like you are far away from it all! A perfect stopover, a little oasis and a gem! Nothing was to much trouble, even an airport drop off at no charge, highly recommend and can’t wait to return

The guest house was only opened this season and is therefore still rather quiet. The comfortably furnished safari tents are located directly on a river bend. A restaurant offers dining on a terrace with sunset views. There are also campsites with their own kitchen and bathroom. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. A perfect base for activities around Maun.

Stunning property, beautiful rooms. Great opportunity to be a special resort

The bar and restaurant ( beautiful) were not functioning ( closed) and resort is 20 kms outside Maun

Welcoming staff so professional. The food was great, the place is so quiet and calm. We enjoyed our stay. I would like to express my gratitude to the chef who made sure my husband really feels special on his birthday
