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.

7 day Vic Falls/ Kruger adventure!!!
I can’t say enough about Kim and how much she did for me and my daughter to plan her 7 day Safari to Victoria Falls and Kruger Park. For myself to be in the USA and my daughter doing a medical internship in Cape Town, South Africa and the time difference, Kim was amazing in every way. The time difference in itself was a challenge but Kim was so helpful and was very quick to respond to me and my daughter at crazy times to make her trip perfect! Kims communication and most importantly making sure my daughter was Safe traveling solo was superb! Everything was planned and she wanted for nothing. Her flights and transfers were perfect along with her accommodations! She loved all of her safaris and the people were all amazing to her! Thank you so much for making a Madison’s Safari memorable in every way !

Trip to Kruger at Mdluli Safari Lodge
I loved working with Anja from safari.com. She put together my itinerary within my price range and was very professional, thorough and empathetic. She followed up with me many times to see if I needed anything throughout my trip and even filled out some forms for me when I was having difficulty. When the lodge I stayed at was not being accommodating in the slightest, she quickly contacted the manager and got them to rearrange their services to meet my needs. I would most certainly use safari.com again due to my wonderful experience working with Anja.

Nicole at Safari.com is AMAZING!!!
I would love to share my experience with Nicole. She has worked tirelessly to help me make my dream vacation a reality. I had no idea how to start planning. Nicole suggested the most wonderful South African resorts and safaris. No matter how many changes I threw her way it was always received with a happy, positive attitude. I live in Hawaii and even though we were on a 12 hour time difference she was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Her expertise, knowledge and patience are unmeasurable. I was plagued with numerous payment issues from my bank in Hawaii. Nicole never wavered from being patience and more importantly positive that we could resolve each issue and get my trip booked. Nicole is a huge asset to Safari.com and I will scream it from the mountains to let everyone know what excellent customer service I have received. Nicole is a ROCKSTAR!!! We are so excited for our upcoming adventure of a lifetime!

Very good experience with getting quotes
I didn’t end up booking with safari.com but I did have a great experience with their consultant, Leigh-Ann Croeser. I originally wanted to book a safari at a specific lodge but it was not available for the dates we wanted. She offered suggestions and helped us secure holds on other dates. She worked hard and sent several follow up emails as she was able to hold some dates for available rooms at the original lodge! We did end up booking with another safari tour company as I sent out a few quotes at the same time and that worked out better for us but next time I would definitely consider booking with her again!
