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.

General Information For Guests

All the suites are raised on recycled railway sleeper decking and offer guests amazing views of the surrounding floodplain and wildlife. Each suite has a private outdoor plunge pool, mini bar, tea/coffee making facilities, mosquito netting, environmentally friendly air-conditioning unit over the bed, a fan, room safe, yoga mat and light weights, indoor and outdoor showers, and a bath. 

The 2 Bedroom Duba Plains Suite also has a private pool. 

Wi-Fi is available in all guest suites. There is no mobile phone coverage however. 

Main guest areas include a media centre, wine cellar, interactive kitchen, dining area, lounge and library, and a large deck leading to a raised deck with additional dining space and fire pit with seating. There is also a safari boutique. In-room massages are available at an additional cost. 

The camp is solar powered with generator back up. 

Every day is different on safari. Safari drives often start at sunrise, returning to camp for a late breakfast nd
departing again mid-afternoon after tea before returning just after sunset. However, guests can often spend
the entire day out in the bush with a packed breakfast, lunch, and beverages if they wish. Safaris will often continue into the night in search of nocturnal species. The safari schedule is flexible, and guests are encouraged to create their own itinerary according to their interests with guidance and recommendations from the professional guides.

The Toyota Land Cruiser game viewing vehicles are uniquely designed to traverse the floodplains. 4 guests are accommodated per safari vehicle, however, if a family or group travels together, the vehicles can easily accommodate up to 6 guests. The vehicles also have fridges stocked with drinks and snacks, ready for longer days out if required. 

The flat-bottomed, aluminium boat at Duba Plains allows guests to explore the papyrus flanked channels of the Okavango Delta. 

A rod/reel kit is available for those who want to try their cast in the Delta between March and December on a catch and release basis - water level dependent.

Guided walks can be arranged with experienced guides. 

The camp is a 5 minute drive from the airstrip. 

Young children must be supervised as the camp is open with high predator densities in and around camp
and there is water surrounding camp. The camp also features raised decks and pools which are not
covered. 

The camp accepts Visa and MasterCard credit cards (but not AMEX or Diners Club).
