Duba Plains

In the furthermost remote reaches of the Okavango Delta lies Duba Plains, an unobtrusive camp built on a palm-dotted island surrounded by expansive seasonally flooded plains and shaded by tall ebony, sycamore fig and mangosteen trees in a private 33,000 hectare concession. Duba is particularly suited to those who want to be in a truly remote reserve.

Duba Plains prides itself on its extraordinary wildlife experiences and intimate up close exposure to the best of the best wildlife, from lions and leopards to elephants and buffalo and everything in between. The area is also known for interesting Kalahari species like aardwolf and pangolins. Activities include early morning and late afternoon/early evening game drives in open 4x4 vehicles and boat-based activities when water levels permit.

The camp's main area consists of a large raised dining room, comfortable lounge, interactive kitchen, wine cellar and library. The camp's centre point and the gathering place of all bush experiences is an extended deck under the giant ebony trees.

The accommodation is made up of 5 traditional style tents, designed to blend into the landscape and evoke the classic African safari style of the 1920s, as well as a separate 2 bedroom tented villa. All the rooms are raised on recycled railway sleeper decking and offer guests amazing views of the surrounding floodplain and the steady stream of wildlife parading past. Each tent has a lounge area and beautifully en-suite facilities including indoor and outdoor showes and a luxurious bath. Ceiling fans coupled with an environmentally friendly air-conditioning system over the bed maintain a comfortable climate for guests. There is also a private verandah complete with plunge pool and shaded sala.

Guests staying at the tented villa automatically enjoy the services of a private game drive vehicle with their own guide as well as a private butler and chef. The villa also has a private indoor lounge and dining area.
