DUBA EXPLORERS CAMP - BOTSWANA SLEEPS UP TO 10

UNIQUE HIDEAWAY ON AN ISLAND IN THE OKAVANGO DELTA

Occupying a secluded island in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta and accessible only by two gum pole bridges, Duba Explorers Camp is a place to switch off from the pressures of daily life and reconnect with nature. Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated countries on earth, and a superb place to get away from it all in this remote stretch of wilderness, where you’ll experience a peace and tranquility interrupted only by birds, hippos, and the occasional distant lion’s roar.

Shaded by mature trees and cooled by passing breezes, this Explorer Collection camp offers far-reaching views across the surrounding floodplain and water channels, which come flood season are dotted with flowering water lilies and papyrus. This is a camp for those who love to explore, whether on foot, by safari vehicle, or in a traditional dugout canoe. Each offers a unique way to discover the ancient landscapes of the delta, home to a staggering array of wildlife.

Made up of just five guest tents on raised decking and a central area with panoramic views, Duba Explorers offers a sense of serene simplicity. Whether you’re spotting birdlife from your private day bed, taking a refreshing dip in the swimming pool as you gaze over the floodplain, or sipping champagne at the fire pit under starlit skies, you’re promised an unforgettable escape.

Activities

INCLUDED IN YOUR STAY

Boating and mokoro safaris

Glide through the water channels in either a boat or a traditional dugout canoe known as a ‘mokoro’. Arguably the most peaceful and unique way to observe wildlife, it’s the quintessential Okavango Delta experience.

Guided walks

Explore the beautiful area around the camp on foot with a fully licensed guide. Duba Explorers Camp’s specialist activity.

Safari drives

Early morning, late afternoon, or full day safari drives within the Duba Concession and sometimes beyond, the perfect way to see the region’s incredible variety of wildlife up close. Drives take place in custom-built, open Toyota Land Cruisers, which have been customised to suit photographers with fold-down windscreens, raised roofs, photographic bars, and multi-plug inverters. Vehicles are equipped with drinks, snacks, and reference books.

Night drives

See a different side to the delta by taking a safari drive at night, offering the possibility to spot lesser-known nocturnal species, or even witness a lion or hyena hunt.

Fishing

Between March and December and depending on the water level, you can try your hand at catch-and-release fishing with the rod/reel equipment available.

ADDITIONAL COST

Scenic flight with a champagne stop

The watery landscapes of this corner of Botswana are arguably at their most beautiful from the air, so why not take a scenic flight to appreciate them in all their glory? You can even add a 15-minute champagne stop on ‘Palm Island’ for an unforgettable experience in the wilderness. Must be booked in advance.
