Accommodation at Baines Camp Okavango Delta

Accommodation:

The en suite thatched lodge walls are built from recycled drinks cans and elephant dungInside, however, it is tiled, whitewashed and elegantly furnished in dark African wood, with embroidered hangings and animal-skin rugs on the floor.

The four-poster beds are draped with mosquito nets and can be wheeled on to the veranda for a night under a twinkling blanket of incredible bright African stars, listening to the sounds of the bush
" The reeds rustled as an elephant glided his way slowly through, just 20 metres from our sleeping area"
"morning traffic" consists of a chorus of mating frogs - a cacophony of purrs, croaks, whirrs, whoops, hippos honking and elephants flapping their ears.


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

The only way to get to Baines camp is by air
The 4WD takes another hour from the airfield to reach the isolated and intimate Baines Camp.
The drive reveals herds of antelope, buffalo, hartebeest, zebra and giraffe
The staff greets guests with an African song and plenty of smiles of welcome.
