Duba Explorers Camp

Set within the 77,000-hectare Duba Plains private reserve is the Duba Explorers Camp, a wonderful base from which to explore this incredible wildlife-rich part of Botswana. Guests can rest assured that the team at this camp is completely dedicated to conservation and supporting the local community. They have various initiatives in place, from Pack for a Purpose, to sports programmes and community enrichment projects.

The camp is built on a wooded island and consists of six expedition-style tents that sit on slightly raised decking and look out across the surrounding floodplains. With wooden writing desks and large four-poster beds, the tents are designed to evoke feelings of old-school safari xploration. There are en-suite bathroom and an open-plan living and dining area, which opens on all sides, leads out onto a private verandah.

This part of the Delta is home to large herds of buffalo and elephant as well as healthy lion, leopard and hippo populations. Bird watchers will not be disappointed with the wattled crane, pel’s fishing owl, white-backed night heron and marsh owl nesting in the trees. Enjoy guided walks, boating opportunities and open air game drives throughout the reserve, then come back and enjoy a sundowner and dinner under the stars back at camp.
