Okuti reopened in December 2007 after a complete rebuild
Okuti is on banks of the Maunachira River, as it flows into the Xakanaxa Lagoon, and is one of the few lodges actually in the Moremi Game Reserve itself.
Okuti is a newly built lodge, as it replaces the original property that was on the same site. The lodge has a unique design, but in keeping with its history, is still family friendly. This is still a small lodge, and there are 5 standard units. In addition there are 2 units which each have 2 bedrooms, allowing for families/ friends. The lodge takes children from the age of 7 years and upwards. All accommodation is en suite.
The lodge also has an open-air Boma, ideal for dinners around the campfire. There is also a small swimming pool – very popular on a summer afternoon.
Game drives are offered in the morning and afternoon – allowing you the chance to explore this beautiful and most diverse area of the Park. There are waterways, open plains and forested areas to visit. Game viewing is thus equally varied, with the chance to see wild dog, leopard, lion, and numerous plains game. You can also explore the nearby waterways by motorboat, which allows for some excellent birding (which is particularly good from November to March). There are also seasonal excursions to the Gadikwe Heronry.
