Macatoo Camp offers you an unforgettable experience with a true sense of freedom as you explore the Okavango Delta on horseback. Led by talented guides, guests have 450,000 acres of pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta to explore on calm, experienced horses, offering exhilarating rides alongside big game, such as giraffe, zebra and elephant. Combined with Macatoo, the luxurious tented bush camp accommodation in an exquisite African setting, we offer the riding adventure of a lifetime
Today you start your safari adventure with a 30 minute flight from Maun Airport to Macatoo Camp. A member of the Macatoo Team will assist you with getting situated on your flight. Your 30 minute air transfer offers a bird-eye view of the Okavango Delta where you are likely to see herds of Elephants as you look down from the sky.
A safari vehicle will be awaiting for you on arrival at the camp’s airstrip for a 45 minute game drive (or exciting boat ride - depending on the season) into Macatoo Camp.
Once you have settled in, afternoon tea and cake is served as you are briefed by an experienced guide before heading out into the African bush to bask in the sunset and perhaps take advantage of the stunning photo opportunities offered by the evening light.
Macatoo’s cheerful staff will provide a gentle wake-up call along with your choice of tea, coffee and rusks which are served to you in bed. A light breakfast is set up around the campfire ahead of your first long morning activity.
Depending on the season, you may head out in the boat through the flood waters or jump into the safari vehicle again driving through seas of tall grass to watch Giraffe, Zebra, Antelope, Elephant and Buffalo. A hearty lunch is served every day. Afternoon activities are leisurely and often include Mokoro trips – canoes used by the local fishermen of the Delta – that enables you to travel over the flooded seas of grass. Crocodile sightings are not infrequent and the bird-life is some of the best in the world. Sundowners are often enjoyed out in the bush before heading back to camp to freshen up.
Dinner is always a great occasion at Macatoo, but there is no guarantee that it is always eaten in the same location.
The delivery of tea or coffee in bed heralds the start of your last morning in camp and you will be anxious to make the most of your final day.
Today you will stay close to the camp, gliding through the waterways in the boat and admiring the vast open plains, home to blue wildebeest and Burchell's zebra. You will return to Macatoo along the myriad of waterways lined with large trees.
There will be time to freshen up and pack before the game drive to the airstrip, carrying a picnic lunch to tide you over until your return to the real world.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
