A Botswana Retreat, Named One of 2025's Best New Hotels, Has Only 8 Suites and Incomparable Art

"Atzaro Okavango, Botswana African Bush Camp's long-anticipated Atzaro Okavango, recently opened in the heart of Botswana's Okavango Delta region, is an unexpected welcome collaboration that offers the best of two worlds: exquisite design and responsible tourism. Zimbabwe-native Beks Ndlovu, formerly a top safari guide, founded African Bush Camp in 2006 and over the years has successfully built it up into an award-winning, sustainable company with 17 camps in three countries."

"It was Ndlovu's reputation as one of the most respected environmentally minded entrepreneurs in Africa that compelled Philip Gonda, the co-owner of the small, design-forward Ibiza-based hospitality company Atzaro, to reach out to Ndlovu two years ago to propose building a project together. The result is glamorous, Ibiza-inspired bohemian style meets the best of the continent. The lobby bar and main lodge are made up of a series of generous rooms filled with seating areas,"

Atzaro Okavango recently opened in the Okavango Delta, offering a collaboration between African Bush Camp and Ibiza-based Atzaro that combines exquisite design with responsible tourism. Zimbabwe-native Beks Ndlovu founded African Bush Camp in 2006 and grew it into an award-winning, sustainable company operating 17 camps across three countries. Philip Gonda of Atzaro reached out to partner with Ndlovu, producing a glamorous, Ibiza-inspired bohemian aesthetic integrated with African sensibilities. The lodge features generous rooms, a lobby bar, an impressive collection of African art and a thatched Boma. Days begin with continental breakfast by a fire pit overlooking a lagoon. The operation hires and trains top guides, enhancing safari experiences, including sightings of cheetahs on drives.
