OKAVANGO DELTA

Vumbura Plains Camp
Vumbura Plains is a completely new, premier safari camp for 2005, providing the utmost in bush luxury while still retaining the wild feel of Botswana's safari country.   The camp consists of two separate seven-roomed camps, each with its own dining, lounge and bar areas.  The rooms are unique in design and very spacious.  The entire camp is raised off the ground on wooden decking and walkways.

Vumbura Plains offers both land and water activities, both allowing guests close proximity to the animals.  Lion, cheetah, elephant, leopard and buffalo, plus excellent herds of sable antelope are common at Vumbura.  Bird life is prolific.

Chitabe Camp
Chitabe Camp is situated on one of the Okavango Delta's most lovely islands.  The scenery at Chitabe is varied and beautiful, with open grasslands and floodplains, twisting waterways and islands, dry woodland and swampy marshes.

Chitabe offers eight spacious guest tents built on raised wooden platforms amongst shady trees.  Each tent has a view of the surrounding bush and animals can often be seen while relaxing mid-day in your tent.

Wildlife viewing is excellent at Chitabe with an abundance of elephant, lion, leopard, zebra, giraffe, buffalo and wild dogs, and impala.  Night drives are permitted at Chitabe, allowing guests to see some very interesting nocturnal animals such as serval, African wild cat, porcupine and genet.

Duba Plains Camp
Duba Plains Camp has become renowned for its almost unbelievable lion and buffalo viewing.  For those who want to witness how lions hunt and interact with their prey, compete with their rivals and interact with their pride mates and their young, then Duba Plains is the camp to visit.

Duba Plains offers six guest tents with private verandas, indoor and outdoor showers and huge vistas of the floodplains in front of camp.

In addition to Duba's huge herds of buffalo and its several lion prides, the area supports healthy populations of hyena, elephant, hippo, red lechwe and leopard.  Birding here is excellent as well.  Day and night drives are on offer plus mekoro safaris during the flood months.

Jao Camp
Jao Camp is situated just west of the Moremi Gamer Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta.  Jao is a luxury safari camp, offering nine huge guest tents.  These beautiful tents were recently featured in Architectural Digest.  Jao is built on raised wooden decks and the main lodge in two stories tall, bringing guests up into the lovely fig trees for dining and relaxing at the bar and lounge.  The camp also offers a salon with a wide range of beauty treatments.

Jao offers both land and water activities, depending upon flood levels.  Wildlife viewing at Jao also depends upon floodwater levels but the area is known for its large numbers of red lechwe and lions.  Cheetah, tsessebe, zebra and wildebeest are also present in good numbers.  During the flood months, fishing and boating are spectacular.
