General
Proudly Okavango is a cozy self-catering accommodation designed for relaxation and immersion in nature. We offer a peaceful escape on the banks of the Okavango Delta, perfect for those seeking tranquility away from crowded tourist areas.
We are located in Burnside, near Shakawe in northwest Botswana, right on the banks of the Okavango Delta. This prime spot offers easy access to the delta's waterways and is about a 5-hour drive from Maun Airport or a 20-minute drive to Mohembo Border.
Embrace the natural surroundings with boating on the delta, fishing, birdwatching (spotting over 300 species), private forest walks, and simply unwinding with stunning sunsets. The quiet, serene environment is perfect for stargazing and nature photography and plenty of low-key wildlife encounters.
Yes, we are fully self-catering. You can bring your own groceries or source them locally in Shakawe. We also offer grocery orders in advance. Our facilities include basic kitchen amenities, bedding, towels, electricity, and a private outdoor area for enjoying the views.
You can book directly through our website (proudlyokavango.com) or via platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. For inquiries, call us at +267 737 268 67. It's best to check availability in advance, especially during peak season.
The dry season (May to October) is ideal for clearer waters, better wildlife sightings, and comfortable weather (daytime highs around 25-30°C). The wet season (November to April) brings lush greenery and birdlife but potential rain—great for fewer crowds and lower rates.
We are best suited for couples or solo travelers, but families can inquire about space for children (extra beds available). Unfortunately, we are not pet-friendly, owing to the Bushbuck roaming freely.
