Baynes Camp -
Okavango Delta
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. The four-poster beds are fully mobile, giving guests the choice
of slumber under star laden skies. Avid astronomers will delight in
stargazing from the privacy of their own deck.
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.
ACTIVITIES
This area, situated on a private concession neighbouring the Moremi, 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 will reveal a world of floating safaris, atmospherically
silent 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.
At
Stanley's Camp
and
Baines' Camp
you can spend the day walking with a herd of semi-habituated elephants,
learning about their daily habits, from the foods they eat to their favorite
bathing spots—a non-intrusive glimpse into the life of these grand beasts is
an unforgettable experience offered exclusively to our guests
