BAINES CAMP


Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the intimate Baines’ Camp features five luxurious suites set on elevated platforms in the tree line. Wooden decks offer expansive views over the permanent water of the Boro River and a lagoon teeming with life. The elevated suites feature a luxurious bedroom, with softly draped fabrics adding the romantic touch of a bygone era. Each suite has a four-poster “sky bed” that can be rolled out onto the candlelit wooden deck, giving guests the choice of slumber under star laden skies, overlooking a lagoon where hippo can often be spotted. Avid astronomers will delight in stargazing from the privacy of their own deck.

A private bath for two under the stars?

What better way to reflect back on an incredible day of game viewing in the Okavango Delta than with a private bath for two under the stars? Imagine soaking up the scenery of the shimmering waters of the Boro River, not to mention the awe-inspiring constellations of the African night sky above, from the comfort of your very own "star bath"?

This exclusive lodge is named after the famed nineteenth century explorer and artist, Thomas Baines. The main area features an oversize deck for outdoor dining and views over the permanent water of the lagoon, as well as a swimming pool with two sala’s for refreshing sunbathing.

This area, situated on a private concession neighbouring Moremi Wildlife Reserve, is superb for viewing all animal and bird species. Guests may explore by land and water, often into the night to discover nocturnal species. The permanent water of the camp is ideal for water based activities gliding silently at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro (dug-out-canoe) excursion, or faster in a comfortable shaded motorboat (subject to water levels). A myriad of waterways, feathery beds of papyrus, and animal species, large and small, are waiting to be discovered. Sometimes there is no better way to tune into the bush than on foot, and walking safaris is a speciality at Baines’, with skilled, armed guides introducing the area’s natural wonders.

This camp combines perfectly in a superb Northern Botswana safari circuit with Chiefs Camp in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve and Chobe Chilwero Lodge. in the Chobe National Park
