Imagine a place so exclusive, it makes the term feel meaningful again. In a world where 'exclusive' is thrown around as casually as a catchphrase, Little Maru stands apart. Nestled in the breathtaking Okavango Delta, this hidden gem offers a level of privacy and personalization that’s truly rare. With just three tents and six beds, Little Maru is the epitome of intimate luxury, perfect for rock stars seeking solitude, small groups craving connection, or families wanting a tailor-made adventure.
But here’s where it gets even better: the entire camp can be booked exclusively, giving guests unparalleled flexibility. Want to embark on a game drive at sunrise? The vehicle and guide are yours to command. Craving a custom meal at an unconventional hour? The kitchen bends to your whims. This isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience designed entirely around you.
And this is the part most people miss: Little Maru isn’t about over-the-top opulence or pretentious design. Instead, it’s a harmonious blend of comfort and nature, where the Delta’s wilderness takes center stage. The camp’s design is a deliberate nod to its surroundings, ensuring guests feel immersed in the raw beauty of one of the world’s last true wildernesses. It’s a refreshing departure from the modern safari trend where architecture often overshadows nature.
Little Maru operates year-round, offering both game drives and traditional mokoro (canoe) experiences, so you can explore the Delta’s wonders in every season. Getting there is an adventure in itself—an 18-minute helicopter ride from Maun or a scenic two-hour road transfer.
Now, let’s talk numbers. For 2026, rates range from $600 to $1,200 per person per night, depending on the season. Here’s the controversial part: Little Maru can be booked exclusively with a minimum of just four guests. That means a rock star duo can pay for four and enjoy the entire camp to themselves. Or a family of four can have the place all to themselves, no need to fill all six beds. Is this fair? Or does it devalue the exclusivity for larger groups? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
