Luxury Holidays At Duba Explorers Camp

A Boutique, Eco-Luxury camp with just 5 luxury tents, plus a two-tent private villa, Duba Plains is a 1920’s-inspired camp located within Northern Botswana. Set within the lush green delta habitat of the 77,000-acre Duba Plains Reserve, in the famous Okavango Delta, Duba Plains provides guests with remarkably diverse wildlife sightings in addition to varied land and water-based safari experiences. Re-opened last year, this exclusive conservation camp is fringed by islands, floodplains and marshes — boasting dream vantage points for keen bird-spotters and photography enthusiasts. Quite in addition to the twice-daily game drives, guided walks, boating cruises, photography workshops and fishing are also available — and are very much part of the unique Botswana experience.

With each spacious, vintage-inspired, luxury tent entitled to complimentary use of a Canon 5D camera and lenses, plus use of Swarovski binoculars — along with Duba Plain’s own specially-adapted photographic boat — there is every reason to capture the moment and to take home a collection of incredible wildlife sightings. When not mesmerised by the rich game-life and stunning scenery, guests can take a dip in the outdoor freshwater pool, enjoy a massage, relax in the library, visit the Media Centre or buy souvenirs at the curio shop. Following the second game drive of the day, evenings can be spent dining under the brilliant stellar skies, or at the interactive Chef’s kitchen. For families, the Duba Plains Suite is a two-bedroom tented villa that can accommodate a family of up to five people. It comes with a private vehicle, guide, and dedicated chef and operates like a stand-alone villa ensuring maximum luxury and privacy. Children are provided with a backpack of amenities and can take part in a Young Explorers programme. Along with its remote location (access is by air only), petite size and prolific wildlife, guests have the enviable opportunity to also see several unique species of mammals and to be part of a true conservation program with a green footprint. With a Great Plains safari, guests are supporting local communities, benefitting from highly-trained guides and local bush experience plus learning about essential conservation initiatives.

Climate

The Okavango Delta is flooded from June through to October, making it one of the best times to visit. This is also the dry season, so the flooded plains become filled with thirsty wildlife. The ‘green’ season months of January to March shouldn’t be excluded as this is when a lot of the young are born, birdlife is in abundance and the camps and lodges are less crowded.

Getting There

Your Luxury Travel Specialist will advise the best travel arrangements according to your bespoke itinerary.

Safari

One of the very best wildlife spotting destinations in Botswana and beyond, the Okavango Delta houses large concentrations of animals on both a permanent and seasonal basis. A myriad of species can be spotted on game drives across the delta – including elephant, hippo, lechwe, wildebeest, giraffe, crocodile, lion, cheetah, leopard, black and white rhinoceros and much, much more. The delta is also home to a huge density of endangered African wild dog.

Safari
Mokoro Canoeing

Get closer to nature on a guided glide through the reeds of the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout canoe known as a mokoro. An expert ‘poler’ guides the vessels silently through the waterways and channels, allowing you to sit back, admire the scenery and spot the delta's wealth of birdlife. To experience a gloriously quiet and calm side to this inland oasis, head out as dawn breaks, navigating a network of water channels as they reflect the morning light. Pass by lions, leopards and Nile crocodiles stalking among the reeds.

Mokoro Canoeing
Helicopter Flights

Take to the skies for an aerial perspective of the Okavango Delta, looking out for herds of elephant and lechwe splashing through the water below. From the air, the unique and raw beauty of the delta becomes even clearer, comprising a patchwork landscape of islands, plains and lagoons.
