ACCOMMODATION

Set on a remote island within the northern Okavango Delta, Duke’s Camp embodies the romance and grandeur of classic African exploration. Surrounded by pristine floodplains, winding waterways and dense ebony forests, the camp occupies a vast private concession celebrated for exceptional wildlife encounters and remarkable exclusivity. Named after Sarefo “Duke” Sarefo, custodian of this extraordinary wilderness, the camp offers a deeply immersive safari experience where untamed nature and old-world elegance coexist in perfect harmony.

The camp’s luxurious canvas suites are elevated on wooden decks beneath towering leadwood and ebony trees, each positioned to maximise sweeping delta views and complete privacy. Interiors evoke the golden era of safari travel through rich Persian rugs, hand-carved four-poster beds, antique furnishings and brass accents, while spacious en-suite bathrooms and private viewing decks ensure refined contemporary comfort. The atmosphere is theatrical yet deeply authentic, blending adventurous spirit with extraordinary sophistication.

Dining at Duke’s Camp is an elegant affair inspired by timeless safari traditions. Beneath giant trees or within the vintage dining tent, guests enjoy beautifully presented cuisine accompanied by crystal glassware, antique silver and carefully selected wines. The Persian tea tent, intimate lounge and firepit create enchanting settings for sunset cocktails and evenings beneath Botswana’s immense star-filled skies. Throughout the property, curated Africana décor and campaign-style furnishings reinforce the camp’s distinctive sense of character and heritage.

Safari experiences are exceptionally diverse thanks to the camp’s location within one of the Okavango’s most wildlife-rich concessions. Guests may explore by mokoro, motorboat or open safari vehicle while encountering elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo and prolific birdlife. Seasonal fishing, guided walks, scenic helicopter flights and even lantern-lit fly-camping adventures deepen the connection to this extraordinary ecosystem, while the swimming pool and tranquil decks offer moments of serene relaxation between explorations.
