Chief's Camp, an A&K Sanctuary 

Chiefs Camp was amazing! Service was impeccable as were the accommodation and food. The guide we were assigned was outstanding in tracking and finding great sightings for us.

Wow, what a magical place! Spacious and luxurious accommodation, friendly and service-minded staff, delicious food and to top it all off, great game viewing on Chief's Island.

We had a wonderful trip and we are all very keen to do Africa again. Safari in Botswana was very enjoyable, it felt more “raw” than Kruger and larger herds of animals and more freedom to drive cross country. Overall very positive experience. Thanks for all your help.

Chief's Camp is a fantastic, authentic African safari lodge that will offer you a luxurious and enjoyable experience. The staff are really wonderful & the food was very tasty, especially their home-made pizza. Enjoy a sundowner whilst watching the elephants bathing in the waterhole right in front of the main lodge.

We enjoyed our trip to the Delta very much. I seem to always have my “travel agent” hat on when we travel because I’m always comparing and contrasting different camps, countries, etc! lol Both of us felt that Baines’ and Chief’s did a bit better job all around and had a better management style. We heard that from a few other people as well and actually from a couple who had been to Ivory Lodge in Sabi before going to Botswana. We did get the room that I had requested at Baines and Kings Pool but not at Chiefs.
All in all, we’re glad we went to the the Delta (the water was lower this year than in the last 3 years we were told but still beautiful) but don’t feel that Botswana offers good value for the quantity of the game that we saw. That seemed to be a fairly prevalent opinion that we heard from others as well. So, you’ll be glad to hear that we continue to sing the praises of South Africa and Sabi Sand and will continue to encourage people to visit!

More elegant food. The “tent” was about 30′ x 30′ with a thatched roof of about 12′ high. They have an indoor and outdoor shower. Stanley and Chief’s Camps have heated beds…cozy! They have wonderful common areas. The staff here is also that friendly warm type – just wonderful. You see animals many times from your deck or common areas.

We loved Chief's camp. Staff, accommodations, food and game viewing was spectacular. Would recommend guide “Sky” to anyone. All transfers to and from Chiefs was right on time.

Chief’s Camp in the Okavango was incredible! We loved the tented elegance, the black African staff and all the amazing animals we saw. We had the best guide, Abner, who hd preternatural skills at tracking and was a comic to boot. He managed to get us into the heart of hunting with a pride of 6 lions – we were with them as they slowly ambled across water and grasses the evening before, and the next morning caught up with them as the hunt for buffalo was in full swing, ending with a kill of a baby buffalo with lots of drama. Not for the faint of heart, but truly a priviledge and humbling to see the great beauty, power and kill of these magnificent animals. Lots of elephants and giraffes and masses of birds and much more. We were completely smitten by the whole experience

Chief’s Camp in Botswana was a delightful treat…with those warm smiles greeting us…and indeed with a song on arrival…we knew we would love it and we did. Ofcourse the animals do their part too. I haven’t stopped talking about our trip yet and everyone is amazed at all we saw.

Chief’s Camp was exceptional – we saw so many different animals, including following a pride of lions through the bush. I think Chief’s was the highlight because we were able to go off-road. Food was fantastic, the staff (about 50 of them) put on a song and dance show for the guests one night and we met some really interesting people. We felt thoroughly spoilt by experience and the staff.

Chiefs camp was also brilliant, beautiful. Gorgeous, large rooms. Excellent service with wonderful managers. We got lucky there as it was not flooded and saw a white rhino, several prides of lions with cubs and several male Kalahari lions (I guess rare for there)- no wild dogs though.

All the arrangements you made on our behalf were suberb,we had not one single issue and we thoroughly enjoyed the Sancuary Lodges experience. Our favourtite needless to say was Chief’s Camp and in particular we felt that Poniso was the best guide we had ever had.

The wildlife was even better as we saw numerous lions (including two separate instances where lions had recently killed a giraffe), zebras, wildebeests, a cheetah and hyena one night as we were coming back to camp. We never saw any leopards or rhino, but that just gives us a reason to come back. The service was fantastic at both places, and the guides were teriffic. The baboons one morning were a little loud, but it just reminded us how close we were to the animals.
