Overview

One of the Delta's most remote camps, Duba Plains is a small, intimate camp on a tree-filled island in a private 30 000-hectare concession known as the Kwedi Reserve.

Apart from good numbers of lion and buffalo, herds of elephant feed on the islands and hippo concentrate in deeper channels. Tsessebe and blue wildebeest dot the plains, while red lechwe are found on the wetter floodplain fringe.

Duba is known for the titanic clashes between buffalo and lion, and so a classic game drive is one that tracks down the truly enormous buffalo herd to see if any lion are also headed in that direction. Aside from this interaction the age-old conflict between lion and spotted hyena is also a point of interest. Birdlife is abundant and impressive, with many Okavango specials such as Rosy-throated Longclaw, Slaty Egret and Wattled Crane being found in the area.

A variety of activities include day and night game drives, often tracking the buffalo herd around the concession, and leisurely nature walks. Mokoro trips are also possible in times of good floods - usually only between May and September.

Accommodation

Accommodation is made up of six roomy tents with an en-suite bathroom, an outside shower, and a veranda overlooking the floodplain. The thatch-roofed lounge, dining room and bar areas are raised on platforms along with a swimming pool, all providing a beautiful view
