Duke's Camp

Duke's Camp is a luxury safari destination nestled in the northern Okavango Delta, Botswana, named in honor of Sarefo 'Duke' Sarefo, whose ancestral roots trace back to the very island where the camp stands. The camp features eight luxurious canvas safari suites set on raised wooden decks beneath ebony and leadwood trees, offering spectacular views of the Delta's crystal-clear channels.

The accommodation seamlessly blends vintage safari aesthetics with modern comfort, featuring Persian rugs, hand-carved four-poster beds, and mahogany furnishings. Each tent includes an en-suite bathroom and private viewing deck. The main area showcases old-world glamour with a Persian tea-tent, well-stocked bar, and elegant dining facilities where guests enjoy fine cuisine under ancient ebony trees.

Located on a 220,000-acre private concession, the camp offers year-round activities including game drives, mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions, fishing, and boat trips. The area boasts exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities, with frequent sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, and over 350 bird species. The best visiting period is between April and October, though the camp's unique location ensures near year-round water activities.

The camp maintains high environmental standards and employs expert guides trained by safari legend Ralph Bousfield. Guest activities are conducted in complete privacy, away from public access, ensuring an authentic wilderness experience. Additional activities include helicopter flights, community visits, and trips to the nearby Tsodilo Hills World Heritage Site, known for its ancient rock art.

Duke's Camp exemplifies sustainable tourism, working in partnership with local communities while preserving the natural environment for future generations. The property operates on solar power and maintains various conservation initiatives benefiting both wildlife and local communities.
