Description

Duba Explorers Camp

Okavango Delta

Duba Explorers Camp lies within a 33 000 hectare private reserve in the Okavango Delta. Due to its location at the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta, the surroundings are dominated by permanent floodplain. The area is interspersed with seasonal floodplains and grasslands with pockets of Mopane and Acacia woodlands.

Under a canopy of mature Jackalberry, Leadwood, Mangosteen and Sycamore Fig trees the camp has year-round shade. It’s  location provides unobstructed views across the surrounding water channels and allows cool breezes through the camp and guest tents.

Safari Tents

The camp consists of five tents of light canvas on raised decking with a private veranda and en-suite facilities. Guests wake up to panoramic views of the Delta floodplains. During the flood season, the water channels link to open water filled with flowering water lilies and tall papyrus.

The main area is set under sweeping canvas on raised decks with an open dining and lounge area. Being part of a floodplain for most of the year, the camp is on an island surrounded by beautiful landscapes and water courses. The camp is only accessible by two gum pole bridges. During your siesta, lounge on the daybed on your veranda, absorbing the peacefulness and tranquility of your surroundings.

In the flood season you might even be lucky to catch sight of spotted neck otters swimming and eating. Listen out for the prolific bird life. At night the Hippos wander past your suite in search of grazing. The roar of a Lion rumbles through the night as he calls out his territory. Pels Fishing Owls are prolific in this area and birding is nothing short of exceptional.
