overview

Duba Plains Camp is a 5-suite camp nestled in the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta on a private 33,000-hectare reserve. Only accessible by air and having recently undergone a fantastic refurbishment, Duba Plains is the epitome of classic 1920's safari style in an area rich with wildlife for exclusive viewing.

The intricate tapestry of palm-studded islands, floodplains and woodlands was chosen as the base for National Geographic filmmakers and conservationists Dereck and Beverly Joubert.

Camp

Nestled amidst the cool shade of ebony trees and encircled by lush emerald swamps, the exquisitely crafted main tent exudes an ethereal charm, seemingly hovering over the floodplain, boasting a sprawling deck to immerse yourself in the panoramic vista. Adorned with chic furnishings, the indoor living space exudes warmth, featuring a grand wooden dining table, sumptuous high-back leather chairs, cozy ottomans, and plush rugs. Concealed behind draped canvas and intricately carved wooden door frames, an intimate library nook and a wine cellar await.

Rooms

Five tailor-made tents and a two-bedroom suite perch elegantly above the floodplain on repurposed railway sleepers. Each abode offers its own enchanting panorama and a secluded verandah for wildlife spotting. Lavish leather couches and opulent rugs harmonize effortlessly with eclectic wooden doors and gleaming brass bath and shower fixtures. Exuding an aura of sophistication and opulence, each tent is meticulously designed, drawing inspiration from the surrounding forest while evoking a sense of old-world allure.

Activity

Prepare for unforgettable encounters with wildlife, with lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalo among the myriad highlights. Nestled within its private concession, Duba ensures exclusive game viewing experiences. Embark on exhilarating game drives twice daily, or when water levels permit, explore the shimmering waterways of the swamp aboard a boat. And, etched into your memory forever, will be the sublime sundowner experience on the expansive floodplain.
