A Master PainterA Wild LandOne Unforgettable Tour

Jeremy Lipking returns 6 - 16 November 2026

We are thrilled to welcome Jeremy Lipking back to Africa — and to invite you to join him for an unforgettable painting journey into the heart of the Okavango Delta.

This extraordinary safari combines the spirit of adventure with the soul of art. From the golden light over the floodplains to the still reflections of the Delta waters, every moment is an inspiration waiting to be captured on canvas.

Jeremy returns once again to lead a small group of artists and friends on a truly remarkable experience — a blend of wilderness, creativity, and connection you will never, never forget.

Botswana’s magnificent Okavango Delta, situated in the heart of a newly declared World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest inland delta — a maze of deep lagoons, tranquil lakes, and hidden, meandering channels.

Our journey begins at Camp Okavango, a unique and exclusive safari lodge located on the remote Nxaragha Island. This hidden treasure, in the heart of the permanent Delta, offers guests an unparalleled year-round water-wilderness experience.
