Northern Okavango Delta
Check-in
Duke’s Camp
Begin your day with a morning game activity before transferring to the airstrip for a light aircraft flight to a private concession in the northern Okavango Delta – an area famed for its game-rich plains. Your final stop is the exclusive Duke’s Camp, set on the edge of a permanent lagoon and surrounded by leadwood and ebony trees. With exceptional views and abundant wildlife, you’ll end your safari on a high. As dusk falls, lanterns light the way along raised walkways to your luxurious tented suite. While the camp is open year-round, mokoro and boat safaris are available from April to October. Exceptional land-based game viewing takes place throughout the year, with large herds of elephants and plains game frequently seen. During the warmer summer months, guided bush walks and birding (with over 440 species in the area) are highly recommended. Night drives offer the chance to spot elusive nocturnal predators such as serval and caracal.
