Sitatunga Private Island

Sitatunga Private Island

Discover the hidden gem of Botswana, the enchanting Sitatunga Private Island, handpicked by SLT as a top destination. This secluded island exudes a charming ‘Robinson Crusoe’ appeal, designed with a unique ‘salvage’ inspiration, paying tribute to the Bayei and local Okavango fishing heritage. The architecture features giant basket-shaped structures, shaggy thatch canvas roofs, and robust pole woodwork reminiscent of salvaged ship masts. Despite its rustic charm, the inner floorspace is surprisingly spacious and inviting, making it one of the grandest constructions of its kind.

 

To immerse you in the natural surroundings, each suite is nestled high among the ebony trees, providing both safety and breathtaking views. Relax in your private lounge area, enjoy the fully stocked minibar, and rejuvenate in the ensuite bathrooms with showers. Step out onto your deck, where a private plunge pool awaits, offering sweeping views of the expansive lagoon in front of the camp.

Sitatunga Private Island is a haven entirely surrounded by water and adorned with a soothing blue theme. The interior decor boasts vintage Persian carpets, delicate blue trade bead curtains, and soft flowing silk and linen drapes that dance with the gentle breeze.

As part of the extraordinary experience, each suite comes equipped with a complimentary professional camera and lens set, as well as high-quality binoculars, perfect for capturing the wonders of the Great Plains Conservation Réserve-Collection safari camp. The camp’s culinary delights are a personal and exclusive affair, curated by our talented executive chef and team. Drawing inspiration from Botswana’s river people and their culinary traditions, the cuisine is both captivating and delicious.

Sitatunga Private Island also caters to oenophiles, featuring a well-stocked wine cellar and a boutique to explore.

In this place of barefoot luxury, you’ll be enchanted by the proximity to nature’s wonders, including the presence of crocodiles and hippos in the deep reed bed lined channels of one of the world’s most extraordinary rivers
