overview

Located in an absolutely pristine area, Duba Plains is perhaps the Okavango Delta's most remote safari camp and can only be reached by air. The camp, built on an island and shaded by large ebony and fig trees, is surrounded by expansive, game-rich grasslands which are flooded each year, usually from May to early October. Explore the area on 4X4 game drives, on foot, by boat (depending on water levels) or be poled silently through the waterways on a traditional canoe.

Game viewing tends to be a dramatic experience at Duba Plains: thousands of buffalo are found in the area and are hunted almost daily by the resident lion prides. These incredible interactions were made famous by National Geographic’s Relentless Enemies, filmed in the area. Game viewing at Duba Plains Camp is also flexible and you can choose your schedule, but it's best to set out on a game drive at dawn for the best chance of seeing a hunt. Late afternoon into evening is another excellent game viewing time.

The open-air dining room, raised on wooden decking and set under large riverine trees, serves delicious, freshly prepared breakfasts and brunches.

Afternoon tea and delectable dinners are served in the atmospheric, thatched dining area. In order not to interrupt your game viewing experience at Duba Plains, breakfasts and picnic lunches are often served while on a game drive.

Tent

Duba Plains Camp accommodates a maximum of 12 guests in six large tented suites, raised to enhance the views and to catch the gentle breeze as you cast your eyes over the floodplains from your private deck.

Each spacious tent includes an en suite bathroom with dressing room, 24-hour hot running water, a flush toilet, double vanities and both an inside and outside shower.

Traveller Reviews

  • Duba Plains was fantastic! The diverse landscape and terrain was special and we had an outstanding guide named Rueben. We could hear our guide clearly as the vehicle was more intimate. We saw loads of wildlife and we were lucky enough to witness a lion kill of a Cape Buffalo on the first morning. We also saw numerous sets of lion cubs throughout our stay. We enjoyed the camp, and the staff were super friendly. Food was very good. Duba was definitely a highlight for us.
