Sanctuary Chief's Camp - Overview
Overview of Sanctuary Chief’s Camp Botswana, Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve
This unique safari camp offers exceptional lodging on the legendary Chief’s Island – the largest island in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Twelve hidden bush pavilions topped with thatched roofs are nestled in the Moremi Game Reserve, offering stunning views of the Piajio floodplain. Guests can expect thrilling encounters with predators, as this region is teeming with wildlife.

Twice daily games unfold in 4x4s that accommodate six, ensuring every guest enjoys a prized ‘outside seat’. Upon your return, experience a warm welcome at Chief’s Camp with soothing hot towels and refreshing cool drinks. Birders should keep their eyes peeled for the dazzling malachite kingfishers, while leopard frogs cling to the reeds of the Delta. Chief’s Camp is thoughtfully designed, featuring a swimming pool, an open-plan bar, a safari shop for any last-minute needs, and serene views overlooking Piajio. Sisal, leather, wicker, and wood come together to craft inviting and stylish spaces. The wellness studio awaits with an array of massages, facials, scrubs, and nail treatments, perfectly timed for those sunny afternoons that bridge a delightful lunch and your exciting late-afternoon game drive.
