Duba Expedition Camp Okavango Delta Botswana

Built on a wooded island, connected to the prolific wildlife area by an elaborate set of bridges, Duba Expedition Camp sits in the heart of classic Okavango Delta habitat. Located here, exclusively, is the six tent Duba Expedition Camp, a wildlife connoisseur’s getaway. In a 77,000-acre private concession, only accessible by plane, with palm-dotted islands, flood plains and woodland, the region’s unique landscape is displayed for only the bravest explorers to see.

Duba Expedition Camp is located in the Kwedi Reserve and is part of a joint venture partnership between Great Plains Conservation and the Okavango Community Trust, the representative body for five villages in the Okavango Panhandle. This partnership ensures that these communities receive tangible and substantial benefit from using their ancestral land for wildlife conservation. Botswana is a leader in such partnerships, and our working relationship is a testament to this long-standing example of success in this area.

Accommodation at Duba Expedition Camp Okavango Delta

Tents

The private, quite and intimate camp consists of six expedition-style tents of light airy canvas built on slightly raised decking, each allowing spectacular views of the surrounding floodplain. A small desk, private verandah and en-suite facilities are provided in each tent.

Comfortable climate for rest and relaxation is maintained by fans and careful open-air design. Sweeping marquis canvas is above the main area, an open-concept dining and lounge area, on raised decking, and opens to the outdoors on all sides. In the evenings, the fire pit is always a popular spot to enjoy an Amarula and recount the day’s events.

Duba Expedition Camp prides itself on its extraordinary wildlife experiences, and rightly so. The diverse wildlife experience is renowned with regular sightings of a diverse range of species, including large herds of Red lechwe along with Greater kudu, tsessebe and even giraffe which in previous years has been a rare sighting.

Of course, elephant and hippo trudge through the swamps happily, and are regularly seen. Leopard, and nocturnal species such as Brown hyena can be sighted as well. Wildlife is a regular sight right in camp! Birds abound, and the area is reputed as a birdwatcher’s paradise. Okavango ‘specials’ include the rare Wattled crane, Pel’s Fishing owl, White-backed Night heron and Marsh owl.
