Duba Explorers Camp: canvas comfort in a secluded landscape
Duba Explorers Camp is not for the large numbers, which makes it all the more unique to stay here. With only six mobile tents on wooden platforms, you enjoy simple luxury: ensuite bathroom, wooden veranda, and views of the riverbanks. The design is subtle and respectful, crafted to blend seamlessly into the landscape. Exactly what you want during an adventurous safari in Botswana.
Wildlife in its raw form
The landscape surrounding Duba Explorers Camp slowly transforms from marshy grasslands to palm islands, woodlands, and channels of the Okavango Delta. Herds of elephants leisurely cross the water, while giraffes graze among the trees. In the early morning hours, you can see buffalo wandering through the misty fields, followed by predators. The area is known for its high populations of lions and wild dogs. What will be your highlight?
