Sanctuary Chief’s Camp
Overview
Safari Chic in the heart of the Okavango Delta
The award-winning Sanctuary Chief’s Camp is a sophisticated safari retreat that combines stylish accommodation and personalized service with extraordinary pristine wilderness. Natural hues and materials that complement the dynamic scenery have been successfully blended together, creating the epitome of luxury safari chic.
The camp is located on the famous Chief’s Island overlooking the seasonal Piajio Channel in the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Wildlife in this region is abundant, and it is no wonder that Sanctuary Chief’s Camp has been consistently rated as one of the top safari destinations in Botswana by Condé Nast Traveler. Game drives and seasonal mokoro safaris allow guests to have intimate experiences with resident elephants, hippo, buffalo, lion, leopard, wild dog and more.
There are 10 enchanting bush pavilions, all featuring indoor and alfresco showers, private verandas and plunge pools, and floor to ceiling windows looking out over the Delta. The 620 sqm Geoffrey Kent Luxury Suite epitomizes the ultimate in refined luxury, offering a private chef and staff, secluded deck area and indoor lounge, boma with fire pit, and private safari vehicle with its own guide.
