The exclusive Baines' Camp features five intimate suites with raised wooden decks offering expansive views of the Okavango Delta in the Northern region of Botswana.

EXPERIENCE

Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the small and intimate Baines' Camp features just five luxurious suites set on elevated platforms in the tree line. Wooden decks offer expansive views over the lagoon teeming with life. The elevated suites feature a spacious bedroom, with softly draped fabrics adding the romantic touch of a bygone era. The four-poster beds are fully mobile, giving guests the choice of slumber under star laden skies. Avid astronomers will delight in stargazing from the privacy of their own deck.

This exclusive camp is named for famed nineteenth century explorer and artist, Thomas Baines. The main area features an oversize deck for outdoor dining and views over the permanent water of the lagoon, as well as a swimming pool for refreshing sunbathing. This area, situated on a private concession neighboring the Moremi Game Reserve, is superb for viewing all animal and bird species.

Guests may explore by land and water, often into the night to discover nocturnal species. The water of the camp will reveal a world of floating safaris, atmospherically silent at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro, or faster in a comfortable shaded motorboat. 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 will be a specialty 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’. Water safaris are subject to water levels.
