Baines' Camp is a luxurious and intimate safari lodge on the southern edge of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Set in a private concession for sheer exclusivity, the camp sits under shady trees overlooking a large, perennial lagoon just off the Boro River. Guests at Baines' Camp are at the heart of the legendary Okavango Delta wildlife experience and will enjoy a variety of classic game viewing activities: morning, afternoon and early evening spotlit game drives are offered, as are canoe trips, walking safaris (depending on the height of the grass), optional helicopter flips and motorboat excursions.

Rooms
Suite
Small and intimate, Baines' Camp features just six luxurious suites, each set on an elevated platform. The suites are designed for comfort, and have ceiling fans and spacious en suite bathrooms.
Each also has its own private wooden deck, allowing you to enjoy the views in privacy, while the spacious bedrooms have a romantic feel with softly draped fabrics and luxurious 4-poster beds that are fully mobile so you can choose to sleep under the African stars - simply ask the staff to wheel them outside for you!
You are given an eco-friendly metal water bottle as a memento and for you to refill during your stay. Also for guests' use during their stay is a special 'safari bag' that includes binoculars, birding and frogging guide books, and a specimen tick list.
Facilities
Grab a refreshing drink from the bar and head to the main viewing deck that overlooks the lagoon, complete with two salas. This part of the Okavango Delta is superb for game viewing and bird watching, which you can even do while you relax in the swimming pool or sip a drink on the deck.
But of course you will explore the area further on guided walking safaris or on morning and afternoon 4X4 game drives - and the fact that Baines' Camp is located in a private concession means that you can enjoy thrilling night drives as well.
Baines' Camp also offers a range of water-based safaris. Excursions by mokoro (dug-out canoes) will give you the opportunity to discover the details of the teeming Okavango Delta environment close up, while motorboat trips will offer you a more exhilarating experience.
Dining
The main area of Baines' Camp features a large open-air deck for a truly African outdoor dining experience. Enjoy gourmet cuisine, complemented by vintage wines while looking out over the lagoon.
Afternoon tea and pre-dinner snacks have been replaced with a scrumptious all-day snack menu, offering guests a unique range of delicious delights.
