Duba Explorers Camp is tucked away in the northeast corner of the Duba concession, a 33,000-hectare private reserve in the Okavango Delta and surrounded by floodplains, grasslands and pockets of mopane and acacia woodlands. Since the camp was relocated away from its sister camp, Duba Plains, Duba Explorers Camp is now situated on an island under a canopy of mature jackalberry, leadwood and mangosteen trees. The camp consists of five tents of airy canvas on raised decking. Guests wake up to panoramic views of the Delta floodplains and, during the flood season, the water channels link to open water filled with flowering water lilies and tall papyrus. The main area is set under sweeping marquee canvas, on raised decking with an open-concept dining and lounge area. During a stay at Duba Explorers Camp guests can surrounding ecosystem by boat or traditional canoes (mekoro) (when water levels allow), by vehicle or on guided walks. The unique flooding cycles of the Okavango Delta create a mosaic of habitats fostering an incredible diversity of wildlife while the year-round healthy population of elephant, buffalo and lechwe and good hunting terrain attracts predators such as lion, leopard and wild dogs.

Selinda Explorers Camp rests in a shady spot on the banks of the eastern Selinda Spillway in the vast, wildlife-rich Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana. Selinda Camp is a relaxed, yet luxurious tented safari camp, and affords extraordinary views over the Selinda Reserve's prolific floodplains and savanna. The extensive raised decks, surrounding both the main lounge and guest tents, allow guests to watch wildlife while dining relaxing in Camp. Few places in northern Botswana are as dynamic as the Selinda Reserve, centred as it is on the Selinda Spillway linking the far reaches of the Okavango Delta in the south with the waters of the Linyanti in the east.
INSIDER’S TIP: You can experience this vast area on foot, by 4x4 open game drive vehicle or boat, or simply by sitting quietly in a hide.

Okavango Explorers Camp is a brand-new Explorer Collection safari camp located in the southwest of Botswana’s private Selinda Reserve. At the intersection of the upper Okavango Delta water system and the famed Selinda Spillway, the camp's location is a unique combination of two iconic ecosystems. This area may be new to guests but has been known to us for many years as one teeming with wildlife.
The 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve in northern Botswana is a prime predator and elephant habitat. This new location has been handpicked for its access to some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the region, along the southernmost section of Selinda Spillway. Lion, leopard and wild dogs hunt these parts regularly. There are good densities of giraffe, buffalo and exciting and now rare antelope like roan, sable and eland. At the peak of the dry season in late September, the Selinda Reserve has been documented to be home to over 9,000 elephants concentrated along this river system. There is phenomenal birdlife in this area for those looking for some ‘lifers’.
The safari experiences include safari drives, canoeing and walking because Okavango Explorers Camp is in one of the most remote parts of this private reserve.
