Welcome to the heart of the
Okavango Delta
Duba Expedition Camp sits right here, welcoming every visitor. This 77,000-acre private concession typifies the region’s unique landscape, which is a mixture of islands, plains and woodlands.
This six tent Duba Expedition Camp, a wildlife connoisseur’s getaway, is the only camp in the concession, offering a unique private and ultimately rewarding opportuniy for private sightings. Built on a wooded island, connected to the prolific wildlife area by an elaborate set of bridges.
Duba Expedition Camp, and the Kwedi Reserve, where it is located, is part of
a joint venture partnership between Great Plains Conservation
and the Okavango Community Trust, the representative body for five villages
in the Okavango Panhandle.
The intimate camp consists of six expedition-style tents of light airy canvas on slightly raised decking, offering individual views of the breathtaking floodplain. Each tent has a small desk and private verandah and En-suite facilities..
A relaxing climate is created and maintained by fans and careful open-air design. Consisting of an open-concept dining and lounge area which opens to the outdoors on all sides, the main area is under sweeping marquis canvas. In the evenings, the fire pit is always a popular spot to enjoy an Amarula and recount the day’s events.
Duba Expedition Camp prides itself on its extraordinary wildlife experiences, and rightly so. The diverse wildlife experience is renowned with regular sightings of a diverse range of species, including large herds of Red lechwe along with Greater kudu, tsessebe and even giraffe which in previous years has been a rare sighting. Of course, elephant and hippo trudge through the swamps happily, and are regularly seen. Leopard, and nocturnal species such as Brown hyena can be sighted as well. Wildlife is a regular sight right in camp! Birds abound, and the area is reputed as a birdwatcher’s paradise. Okavango ‘specials’ include the rare Wattled crane, Pel’s Fishing owl, White-backed Night heron and Marsh owl.
ACTIVITIES
Game drives (day & night) take place in some of Botswana’s most coveted
vehicles. Three of Duba’s unique Toyota Land Cruisers are aptly named
‘Swamp Vehicles’ due to their extra-high suspension and huge tyres
- designed to traverse the floodplains and channels of the concession in comfort.
These are, of course, open-sided, canopied and customised for photographers
(fold-down screens, raised roofs, photographic bars, multi-plug invertors).
With just four to six guests each, the Cruisers are fully stocked with drinks
and snacks. While the focus remains on the most comfortable times of day (early
to mid-morning and late afternoon to evening) for drives, it is not uncommon
to spend full days out in the field, having brunch or even dinner delivered
to the vehicles. Our schedule is extremely flexible and guests are encouraged
to create their own itinerary according to their interests. Very often, our
safaris will continue into the night in search of nocturnal species.
Duba Expedition Camp is a combination activity based camp, allowing guests to explore the Okavango Delta’s permanent channels by boat when water levels allow, as well as open game drive vehicle safaris. This is truly an invigorating, yet peaceful experience, allowing for wildlife and birding viewing from the boat. Guided game walks with licensed, armed guides are available, and these can be combined with boat cruise or game drive.
