Sitatunga Private Island stands apart from other Great Plains properties. This exceptional Réserve-level camp pushes the eco-design boundaries in a remote Botswana region, providing the utmost hospitality and accommodation. You can also indulge in incredible wilderness activities.
Built on a raised, wrap-around railway sleeper private deck using entirely recycled materials, Sitatunga Private Island can accommodate up to eight guests as part of Great Plains' latest Okavango Delta water-based Réserve-Collection Safari Camp. Sitatunga's design encapsulates the Okavango's story, a water-surrounded camp reminiscent of Robinson Crusoe and a historical haven for indigenous fishermen for over 200 years. Drawing inspiration from their traditional fishing baskets and traps, Dereck Joubert designed rooms resembling tents suspended within large bamboo fisherman baskets. When admiring the landscape, the interiors reflect the Okavango's palette, showcasing misty greens and light-bleached woods.
Sitatunga Private Island is the ideal retreat for slowing down, strolling, and immersing yourself in the tranquil waters. Embark on a river journey, let its rhythm guide you, and savour quiet moments during your safari. Like the river, it's not merely about the water but the essence of the journey itself.
