Bisecting the area is the arterial Makwegqana Channel, a crystal clear distributary of the Okavango that ultimately becomes the Selinda Spillway. The camp itself is located on a forested peninsula reaching out into the seasonally inundated floodplains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The name itself is a Sembukushu word describing \u2018drum beating, ancestral healing, bringing good future to the tribe, or, when one is ill, cure dancing\u2019. It is exactly this essence of healing and harmony that the camp seeks to offer its guests in their reconnection with nature and traditional cultures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 8 spacious tents (including a family room) are hidden in a wooded peninsula, shaded by leadwoods and sausage trees, that juts out into an Okavango floodplain and overlooks a well-trodden game path to the water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Karangoma\u2019s location overlaps both the floodplains of the Okavango Delta and the woodlands of the sandveld to the north, which means a full range of game viewing and other activities are possible. Excellent sightings of a wide range of large mammal species, from the zebra,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">tsessebe, lechwe and wildebeest of the floodplains to the elephant, sable, and roan of the woodland, plus all the larger carnivores from lion and spotted hyaena to leopard, cheetah and wild dog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The camp\u2019s location at a strategic and pivotal overlap between the waters of the Okavango and the vast northern woodlands means that it boasts an unusually wide array of habitats, large mammal species and guest activities in a focused area. Karangoma is located on the north-eastern arm of the Okavango Delta, virtually at the centre of the vast KAZA Transfrontier Park that overlaps parts of Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe. At more than 500 square kilometres in size, KAZA is larger in area than the state of California and almost the size of France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Access to the camp is by air, first by fixed-wing light aircraft from Maun to the Vumbura Airstrip (130km; 25-minute flight), and then followed by a low-level helicopter flight (30km; 10-12 minute flight) directly into Karangoma camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">W: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wild-expeditions.africa\/our-camps\/karangoma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karangoma<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">T: +1 425-222-4060<\/p>\n<p>E: Bookings can be made through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimateafrica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultimate Africa Safaris<\/a>, a Travel + Leisure A-List Travel Advisor, <a href=\"http:\/\/info@ultimateafrica.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Social media<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wildexpeditionsafrica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Wild.Expeditions.Africa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located in the northern section of NG12, with roughly 30 000ha of traversing area, Karangoma boasts a beautiful and productive overlap of Botswana\u2019s northern woodlands (mopane and teak) with a mosaic of floodplains, lagoons and channels typical of the Okavango Delta.
