MADE TO SLOW DOWN TIME, IN A PLACE WHERE TIME STANDS STILL.
DISTILLED & BOTTLED IN THE OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA
OKAVANGO GIN IS
PRECIOUs,
JUST AS TIME IS PRECIOUS
We believe in a different measure of time.
Not in minutes or hours, but in moments.
Not in schedules, but in seasons.
Not in deadlines, but in sunsets.
​
Here, in the heart of the Okavango Delta, nature dictates the rhythm. Waters that have journeyed a thousand miles, filtered through sand and papyrus, meet native Mopane and wild Marula to create something magical - a gin that tastes like nowhere else on Earth.
​
Our gin is crafted at the pace of the wild.
A reminder that somewhere, in a corner of Africa, time still moves slowly.
Small batch by small batch.
So it’s made for savoring.
Made for stopping.
Made for seeing.
Made for being.
Each sip an invitation to pause.
To breathe deeply.
To be fully here, now.
To smile, and remember what is precious.
​​
FOUNDED ON A BELIEF THAT IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR WILD PLACES, YOU MUST FIRST BE
INSPIRED
BY THEM.
Okavango Gin was founded out of a love and passion for the pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta and a desire to preserve its unique natural beauty and communities.
​
Each carefully made bottle represents our mission to inspire the world to protect a small corner of the earth where time still moves slowly, people commune with nature and every day offers a moment
of reflection.
​
Located in a UNESCO World heritage site, overlooking a seasonal floodplain of the Okavango Delta , our off grid distillery is immersed within this very special ecosystem that inspired our brand.
Our commitment to tread lightly means we sacrifice scale, but have the time to focus on quality.
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
The decision to base our distillery out here, near the rural village of Tsutsubega, was not one driven by economics nor return on investment.
​
Decisions like this, and sourcing our unique botanicals from local communities, create genuine economic opportunities where they didn’t previously exist. These opportunities which will empower the community to become less reliant on subsistence lifestyles which inevitably result in conflict with nature. ​
Our proudest achievement to date is our sustainability awards and the smile on the faces at the Tsutsubega Playground, an early childhood education and care program we support.
$1 from every export bottle sold, plus
$50 from each distillery tour guest, goes directly to supporting this community-run playgroup on the edge of the delta. .
