Day 1
Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is the best known and most visited tourist attraction in Botswana. It is situated deep within the Kalahari Basin, and is often referred to as the ‘jewel’ of the Kalahari. Shaped like a fan, the Delta is fed by the Okavango River, the third largest in southern Africa. It has been steadily developed over the millennia by millions of tons of sand carried down the river from Angola....
Duke’s Camp
Nestled in the heart of Botswana’s pristine Okavango Delta, Duke’s Camp offers an exclusive and luxurious safari experience. Situated on a private island within a vast 220,000-acre wilderness concession, the camp provides guests with unparalleled access to one of Africa’s most biodiverse ecosystems. The camp features eight elegantly appointed canvas tents, each resting on raised wooden decks and shaded by ancient leadwood and ebony trees. These spacious tents are adorned with hand-carved four-poster beds, Persian rugs, and vintage safari décor, blending classic charm with modern comforts. En-suite bathrooms boast indoor and outdoor showers, brass fittings, and eco-friendly amenities. Guests can unwind in the inviting main area, which includes a cozy lounge, well-stocked bar, and a dining space where gourmet meals are served on antique silverware and crystal glassware. A refreshing swimming pool overlooks the lagoon, offering a serene spot to relax between activities. Safari adventures at Duke’s Camp are diverse and tailored to the natural rhythms of the Delta. Expert guides lead morning and afternoon game drives in customized 4×4 vehicles, providing opportunities to encounter a rich array of wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, and the rare African wild dog. Water-based activities, such as traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions and motorized boat safaris, allow guests to explore the intricate waterways and observe hippos, crocodiles, and a multitude of bird species. For those seeking a more intimate connection with the environment, guided bush walks reveal the smaller wonders of the ecosystem, from tracking animal footprints to learning about indigenous plants. Duke’s Camp also offers unique experiences like fly-camping on a remote island under a canopy of stars and scenic helicopter flights over the Delta and the ancient Tsodilo Hills. Committed to sustainability and community engagement, Duke’s Camp operates with eco-friendly practices and supports local communities through employment and educational initiatives. This dedication ensures that guests not only enjoy a luxurious stay but also contribute positively to the conservation of the Okavango Delta and its inhabitants.
