Discover the essence of Duba Plains Camp, nestled in the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
Nestled on an island in the northern expanse of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, this cozy and secluded tented camp is situated within a vast 77,000-acre private reserve that is typically reachable only by air. Nestled amidst vibrant grasslands teeming with wildlife and dynamic floodplains, the camp features five charming tented suites along with a spacious 2-bedroom suite ideal for families. The vast herds of buffalo roaming this region are pursued by local lion prides that exhibit an extraordinary level of activity in the daylight hours. Duba lions boast a size that can exceed other lions by up to 15 percent, and visitors have the thrilling opportunity to witness the captivating dynamics of predator and prey, with kills often observed during game drives.

However, 4×4 game drives are just one of the thrilling ways to experience the incredible wildlife at Duba Plains Camp. Walking safaris allow you to follow animal trails on foot, connecting you with the smaller wonders often overlooked from a vehicle. When water levels allow, you can navigate the reserve’s shimmering waterways and channels in a mokoro – a traditional dug-out canoe – or partake in a boat-based game viewing experience. This vibrant camp invites guests to shape their own adventure-filled game-viewing itinerary. Some days you might feel the thrill of spending hours tracking a single pride of lions, while on other days, you could find yourself exploring the vast plains in pursuit of a large herd of red lechwe. Delicious picnics are prepared for guests to enjoy during their thrilling safaris, and meals can even be brought to vehicles in the wild, ensuring that no heart-pounding lion hunt goes unmissed.

Duba Plains Camp is perfect for avid wildlife enthusiasts and families seeking a unique and private safari adventure, with a promising opportunity to observe the thrilling dynamics between lions and buffalo.
