Duba Plains Camp offers a variety of activities, including game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, walking safaris and mokoro excursions (water levels permitting). You can also take night drives, which often provide opportunities to photograph Africa's elusive nocturnal animals in action.
The vast open grasslands are often isolated from the mainland by deep
waterways, however, game viewing is a dramatic experience here as thousands
of buffalo are hunted almost daily by up to 4 different prides of lions.
The Okavango Delta has this rich diversity of habitats and lush fertile grasses as a result of year-round availability of water, with the summer rains and winter floods stimulating the environment. Duba Plains Camp supports an abundance of wildlife which is unique even to the pristine and scenic backdrop of the iconic Okavango Delta. Every aspect of the wildlife at Duba Plains Camp fascinates. The region has two prides of lions which compete in the hunt every day. The battle for survival between the lions is as stirring as the plight of the thousands of buffalo. When the lions hunt by day they provide guests with incredible photo opportunities. Aardwolf sightings are one of the specialities of Duba Plains Camp, along with the occasional glimpse of caracal. Red lechwe, elephant, tsessebe and warthog share this savannah landscape and hippo concentrate in the deeper channels. The area often has productive spotted hyena dens that offer unique hyena pup viewing, whilst leopards can be found on the forested islands. Most of the Okavango Delta's renowned bird life can
be found around Duba Plains Camp, including the Swamp Boubou, Hartlaub's
Babbler and Swamp Nightjar. But Duba Plains Camp has more to offer than just lion and buffalo, with herds of elephant feeding on the islands and hippo wading out into the deeper channels. Tsessebe and blue wildebeest dot the plains, while red lechwe are found on the fringe of the wetter floodplains. Spotted hyena can also be seen in their own age-old conflict with the lions. Birdlife is abundant and impressive in the Okavango Delta, with Rosy-throated Longclaw, Slaty Egret and Wattled Crane often sighted. Duba Plains Camp offers a variety of activities including day and night game drives, often tracking the buffalo herd around the concession, and leisurely nature walks. Boat cruises are dependent on the seasonal water levels in the Duba area. Where is the Duba Plains?
