KAYILA CAMP
This Wild Expeditions camp is the result of direct partnership with members of the local community and is rooted in Bukakhwe San and Hambukushu culture – offering a reconnection with nature and traditional cultures. It is in the north-eastern arm of the delta, at the centre of the vast KAZA Transfrontier Park, in an overlap between the waters of the Okavango and the vast northern woodlands.
The name ‘Karangoma’ is a Sembukushu word describing ‘drum beating, ancestral healing, bringing good future to the tribe’, or, when one is ill, ‘cure dancing’.
The lounge and dining areas offer expansive views across the floodplain to the water, with nearby fire pit and plunge pool completing the public areas.
The 8 spacious tents (including a family room) are hidden in a wooded peninsula, shaded by leadwoods and sausage trees. The tents are on low wooden decks (for high flood years) but the interlinking paths through camp are all on the ground weaving through groves of croton and mopane trees.
Activities include game drives, walking safaris, seasonal boating and mokoro excursions and cultural immersion at the village of Gudigwa, 30km away, home to a small Bukakhwe San community.
Children: no under 8
Open: all year round
