Duba Plains Camp
A remote safari camp situated in farthest reaches of Okavango Delta
with incredible wildlife in the area
If you want to see lions hunting during daylight hours then Duba stakes
a claim to being one of the the best locations in all of Africa
One of the Delta’s most remote camps, Duba Plains is a small, intimate camp on an
island in a private 30 000-hectare concession in the furthermost reaches of the Delta,
surrounded by expansive seasonally flooded plains and shaded by tall ebony, fig and
mangosteen trees.
Accommodation is made up of six roomy tents with an en-suite bathroom, an outside
shower, and a veranda overlooking the floodplain. The dining room and bar area is raised
on platforms along with a swimming pool complete with a view.Duba was the setting for
Relentless Enemies, a National Geographic documentary of the classic lion and buffalo
interaction unique to the area. In addition, herds of elephant feed on the islands and
hippo concentrate in deeper channels. Tsessebe and wildebeest dot the plains, while red
lechwe are found on the wetter floodplain fringe. Birdlife is abundant and impressive,
with Okavango specials such as Rosy-throated Longclaw, Slaty Egret and Wattled Crane
being found in the area. A variety of activities include day and night game drives and
walks. The concession is leased from the neighbouring communities and the camp aims
to bring the benefits of ecotourism to the communities that live around the Okavango
Delta.
