Baines’ Camp

Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the small and intimate Baines’ Camp features just 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 interior of a suite at Baines' CampThe elevated suites feature a spacious 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 for 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 for refreshing sunbathing.

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 main area features an oversize deck for outdoor dining and views over the lagoonThe permanent water of the camp will reveal a world of floating safaris, atmospherically silent at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro, or faster in a comfortable shaded motorboat. A myriad of waterways, feathery beds of papyrus, and animal species, large and small, are waiting to be discovered. (Subject to water levels.) Sometimes there is no better way to tune into the bush than on foot, and a walking safari with skilled, armed guides will introduce you to the area’s natural wonders.

The choice of activities will not end there. The unique and educational elephant interaction is available to guests at Baines’.

Children: Children 12 years and over are welcome.
