You step off a dusty lane on the edge of Maun and the camels are waiting—low‑eyed, patient, and oddly majestic in the scrub. A guide gives a short safety talk, you mount with a gentle sway, and the group sets out on a one‑kilometre loop through open bush where the air smells of dry grasses and distant water.

Operated by Okavango Camel Rides · Maun, North-West
You step off a dusty lane on the edge of Maun and the camels are waiting—low‑eyed, patient, and oddly majestic in the scrub. A guide gives a short safety talk, you mount with a gentle sway, and the group sets out on a one‑kilometre loop through open bush where the air smells of dry grasses and distant water.
Maun sits at the gateway to the Okavango Delta, a landscape carved by seasonal floods and the slow push of alluvial sands. Camels are not indigenous here but have become part of contemporary safari culture—used for low‑impact viewing and for the hands‑on animal encounters visitors seek. The experience blends light natural history, local stories, and a chance to feed and pet the animals afterward.
Expect scrubby Acacia, sandy tracks, and an easy pace that favors observation over speed; birdlife is often the highlight—rollers and hornbills are common. The operator is locally run, and a small curio shop on site sells camel‑themed crafts made by artisans from the area.
Practically: the ride lasts about 1 hour total, with minimal elevation and an easy grade. Wear closed shoes, a hat, and sunscreen; bring water and a camera. The experience isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with serious back or cardiovascular problems. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to meet the animals and hear the briefing. Cancellation is allowed up to 24 hours before departure.
This is a low‑impact, highly accessible way to connect with animals and the landscape just outside Maun—brief, tactile, and well suited to families and those planning larger Okavango excursions.
The activity is a fixed, one‑hour experience that includes a 1‑kilometre guided ride plus time to meet and feed the camels.
Not recommended for pregnant guests or those with serious spinal or cardiovascular conditions; the experience is otherwise family friendly and suitable for most ages.
Ticketing is handled per booking—check the operator’s booking page for any child pricing or single‑ticket restrictions; most bookings are arranged in advance online.
Water is recommended but not typically provided—bring a personal bottle; the on‑site curio may sell refreshments and camel‑themed souvenirs.
