About Little Okavango Camp
Little Okavango camp opened in 2018. The western
side of the Serengeti lacked decent small and intimate lodging so the Tent with
a View team built this camp in safari style when it discovered the staggering
bird life of the area. Located just a short five-minute drive from the Ndabaka
gate to Serengeti, Little O is in a great location with easy access in and out
of Serengeti.
It’s
favoured by those wanting to overnight somewhere before entering the park and
also as a stop off on the way out of Serengeti.
The famous Lake Victoria waters occasionally rise for a period and this
water-based camp suddenly is full of Tilapia fish and hippo under the
walkways. Elephant also regularly pass
through the camp. If you have a couple
of days free, it is worth spending a few days here. You will regret it if birds
are your thing!
Little
O’s tented rooms are lovely & spacious with huge carved wooden beds and
Maasai-themed decor. The bird lounge & bar area are lovely relaxing places
to drink and eat and most guests like to sit around the fire pit before dinner.
As
well as being one of the best places for birding in Africa where you can sit in
your hide ticking off species, you might also like to weave amongst the tall
papyrus grasses and out onto the expanse of the lake. Cultural visits to a
nearby fishing village can be taken from the camp returning by boat via the
fabulous Little Okavango Tower where you can enjoy brunch and a relax whilst
taking in the views. Some guests like to
head out on a bike safari with guide down to a small lake where animals like to
come to drink. Being on the edge of Serengeti with no walls has its advantages.
