The brand new Duba Expedition Camp sits in the heart of classic Okavango Delta habitat. A matrix of palm-dotted islands, ood plains and woodland, the 77,000-acre private concession typi es the region’s unique landscape. Located here, exclusively, is the six tent Duba Expedition Camp, a wildlife connoisseur’s getaway. Built on a wooded island, connected to the proli c wildlife area by an elaborate set of bridges, the area is the base of many famous wildlife documentaries by National Geographic lmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert. It is the only camp on the concession, thereby offering guests the ultimate opportunity for private sightings.

While Duba Expedition Camp is combination activity based camp, where is also possible to explore the Okavango Delta’s permanent channels by powerboat, water level dependent. This is truly an invigorating, yet peaceful experience, with wildlife viewing and birding or shing from the boat. Guided game walks with licensed and armed guides are available and these can be combined with a boat cruise or game drive. 

While the focus remains on the most comfortable times of day (early to mid-morning and late afternoon to evening) for drives, it is not uncommon to spend full days out in the eld, having brunch or even dinner delivered to the vehicles. Our schedule is extremely exible and guests are encouraged to create their own itinerary according to their interests. Very often, our safaris will continue into the night in search of nocturnal species. 

Duba Expedition Camp prides itself on its extraordinary wildlife experiences, and rightly so. The mammoth interaction between large buffalo herds and lion prides retains its lure, but with the increase in water in the last decade, this homogenous experience is now complemented by reliable sightings of a diverse range of species, including large herds of Red lechwe along with Blue wildebeest, Greater kudu, tsessebe and usually a rare visitor to Duba, but now more common, giraffe. Of course, elephant and hippo trudge through the swamps happily, and are regularly seen. Leopard, and some nocturnal species, such as Brown hyena, can be sighted as well. Wildlife is a regular sight right in camp, or even from the outdoor showers! Birds abound, and the area is reputed as a birdwatcher’s paradise. Okavango ‘specials’ include the rare Wattled crane, Pel’s Fishing owl, White-backed Night heron and Marsh owl.
