Baines Camp

Baines Camp, small and intimate, is set amongst the shady trees and waterways of the Okavango Delta and features just five luxurious suites, set on elevated platforms in the treeline.

Baines Camp is situated on a private concession neighbouring the Moremi and is superb for viewing all animal and bird species. Guests may explore by land and water, including at night to discover nocturnal species. The permanent water of the camp enables year-round floating safaris, atmospherically silent at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro, or faster in a comfortable shaded motorboat. A myriad of waterways, feathery beds of papyrus and animal species, large and small, are waiting to be discovered.

Sometimes there is no better way to tune into the bush than on foot, and walking safaris are a speciality at Baines, with skilled guides introducing the area’s natural wonders.

In the camp, each of the elevated suites features a spacious bedroom, with softly draped fabrics adding a romantic touch. The four-poster beds are fully mobile, giving guests the chance of sleeping under star-laden skies, and avid astronomers will delight in stargazing from the privacy of their own deck. The main area features an oversized deck for outdoor dining and views over the lagoon, as well as a swimming pool for a refreshing dip on a hot afternoon.
