Surrounded by tall trees, with a view over the Okavango River, Divava Okavango Lodge and Spa is known by the locals as ‘Paradishi Ghomumbiru’, the little paradise.

From the viewing deck overlooking the river or on one of Divava’s river cruisers, travellers may see a hippo emerging from the water. A few hundred meters upriver, the Popa Falls rapids provide excellent photo opportunities for explorers. And just 14 kilometers down the road, the Mahango Game Park gives travellers a great opportunity to see elephants, buffalo, birds and antelope species not easily seen elsewhere, including sable and roan antelope, tsessebe, lechwe, bush buck and reed buck.

As an adventurous day draws to a close, travellers can relax and tell their stories over a fine meal. For some, spa treatments will rejuvenate their souls. Others will find a moment of tranquility on the private balcony of a luxurious chalet overlooking the Okavango.
