Situated on an island in the furthest reaches of the Okavango Delta, Duba Plains is one of the most remote luxury tented camps in the region. With only six bespoke tents, the camp prides itself on intimacy as well as remarkable game viewing.
Highlights
With only 5 expansive tents, raised on wooden decks, the camp is small and intimate. They are very luxurious and modelled on a 1920s safari experience but with private plunge pools for good measure!
Take out of the professional grade cameras and use the photography studio with your excellent guide to ensure you make the most of your photos whilst you’re there.
The food they can produce in Duba Plains will take your breath away from their al fresco lighter lunches to a 5 course tasting supper you will be spoilt.
For families there is the Duba Dhow – a 2 bedroomed suite set apart from the rest if you are looking for more privacy.
Duba Plains Camp is an unobtrusive camp surrounded by expanses of seasonally flooded plains and shaded by tall ebony, sycamore fig and mangosteen trees. Located on a tree-covered island in a 30,000-hectare concession known as the Kwedi Reserve, Duba Plains Camp is a beautiful intimate camp renowned for rewarding game-viewing with good populations of plains game, buffalo, resident prides of lion, leopard, elephant and wild dog.
Accommodation at Duba Plains Camp consists of five spacious tents with en-suite bathrooms with indoor and out door showers and a luxurious bathtub. Each tent is decorated with furnishings inspired by classic 1920s safari style with leather arm chairs and Persian rugs over the dark wooden floors. All have their own large private deck with plunge pool, the perfect place to relax in between activities. In addition to the five tents there is an exclusive two bedroom Duba Suite well suited for families or small groups. The camp is surrounded by extensive seasonally flooded plains and shaded by tall ebony, fig and garcinia trees. The bar and dining area are also raised, to enhance the viewing of the abundant wildlife surrounding the camp.
Duba Plains Camp offers a variety of activities including day and night game drives, often tracking the buffalo herd around the concession. Boat cruises are dependent on the seasonal water levels in the Duba area. Birdlife is abundant and impressive in the Okavango Delta, with Rosy-throated Longclaw, Slaty Egret and Wattled Crane often sighted.
