Duba Plains Camp ist an intimate premier camp with only five traditional-style tents. All the rooms are raised on recycled railway sleeper decking. Each tent has a lounge area, with place to write and do your photographic downloads, as well as the opportunity for private dining in your tent.

Each guest tent offers a private verandah plus beautifully appointed en-suite facilities consisting of flush loo, double basins and indoor and outdoor showers and luxurious baths. Ceiling fans, an environmentally friendly air-conditioning system over the guests bed, and careful tent design maintain a comfortable climate for rest and relaxation. Guests will be able to enjoy their own private plunge pool and outdoor under cover sala/day rest area.

There is also the separate 2-bedroom Duba Plains Suite available for familiens and friends. Guests staying at the Duba Plains Suite automatically enjoy the services of a private game drive vehicle with their own guide as well as a private butler and chef.

The main area consists of a large raised dining room, and comfortable lounge with private dining areas, wine cellar and library, with ample space for our guests to either get away and be private or be all together if they want to. The camp’s centre-point is the gathering place of all bush experiences – the fire place on an extended deck into the swamp.

The camp is situated on an extraordinarily beautiful island at the heart of the Okavango Delta. Duba Plains Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. Omdop Private Airstrip is only a few minutes from the camp. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 30 minutes, and 1 hour 20 minutes to Kasane.

Duba Plains Camp is part of the private Duba Concession. It's sister camp Duba Explorers Camp is the choice for guests who look for a less luxurious camp in a similar area.

The Duba Lions here are extraordinarily strong creatures with highly developed neck muscles. This is not surprising, as they must often wade tediously through water - an exercise that requires a great deal of strength.

When the fresh grass begins to sprout, a large number of elephant take to the open Duba Plains to feed on the shoots in hours of detailed grazing. There are plenty of hippos living in the canals and waterways, and the plains and surrounding woodlands are home to a large variety of birds.

With the arrival of the flood water in April/May, thousands of red lechwe antelope appear on the plains. The animals often walk in a single line and it is spectacular to see them dash through water and jump over deeper passages.

Game drives in custom built, very high 4x4 vehicles. Night drives. Walking Safaris. Boat trips are possible when the water level is high enough.

Because the camp is located in a private concession, night driving with a searchlight and off-road driving for special animal observation is allowed. Close-up shots are guaranteed.

Duba Plains was made famous by married couple and owners Beverly and Dereck Joubert, who amongst other things filmed and studied the lion prides native to Duba Plains over many years. The result is several wildlife films that are well worth watching: www.wildlifefilms.co
