Located in a private concession neighbouring the Moremi Game Reserve, Baines Camp is a super luxury small camp accommodating a maximum of ten guests in sumptuous suites set on raised wooden platforms
Wooden decks offer expansive views over the permanent water of the Boro River and a lagoon teaming with life. The elevated suites feature a spacious bedroom, with softly draped fabrics adding the romantic touch of a bygone era. The four-poster beds are fully mobile, giving guests the choice of slumber under star laden skies. Avid astronomers will delight in stargazing from the privacy of their own deck. Electricity is supplied by a combination of silent packed generator and battery system allowing 24-hour power supply.
Meals are taken on a huge deck overlooking the Boro River, and to the accompaniment of the sounds of the 'Okavango'
Baines Camp is a permanent water camp offering year-round water activities, atmospherically silent at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro, or faster in a comfortable motorboat . The choice of activities will not end there, walking safaris - really the 'only' way to go out on safari, accompanied by a professional armed Guide, are a highlight of your stay at Baines Camp.
Baines Camp uniquely offers interaction with a small herd of three Elephants that are kept locally by Doug and Sandi Groves of the Living with Elephants Foundation. Guests can spend a fascinating 4 hour leisurely walk with the elephants, observing and interacting with them.
Stanley's Camp offers some of the best game viewing in the Okavango, including Elephant, Buffalo, Giraffe, Hippo, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and the rare and elusive Wild Dog. The area houses one of the largest buffalo populations in the Okavango Delta, which, in the dry season, can concentrate into a herd in excess of 2000 head. The area also permits guests the opportunity of viewing the rare Sitatunga antelope.
There is a swimming pool with 2 thatched sala’s on either side.
