Duba Explorers Camp
Duba Explorers Camp is situated in one of the most remote areas in the northern stretches of the Okavango Delta, and is surrounded by a mosaic of waterways. This is a true explorers camp, built with an atmosphere of ancient adventurers, but representative of modern luxury.
Duba Explorers Camp operates completely separately to the other Duma camps on its own private concession of 33,000 hectares. Hidden beneath a canopy of jackal berry, leadwood, and fig trees, the camp enjoys abundant shade. Visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the floodplains and waterways, while feeling cocooned by the wild wilderness. Game drives, mokoro, walking safaris, and fishing are all activities that can be enjoyed at this premier camp.

This concession is a haven for predators, particularly lion, leopard, and African wild dogs. Because of the varied terrain and contrasting waterlogged areas, there is a variety of birdlife. Malachite kingfishers, pied kingfishers and a range of raptors can also be spotted from the comfort of camp. It’s not uncommon to hear the roar of a lion at night, witness elephants wading in front of camp, or hippos honking. There are high numbers of African wild dogs, leopard, lions, buffalo, and elephants in the area.
Game drives cover a vast terrain and provide the best way of seeing a variety of big game, while the professionally guided bush walks offer a more immersive experience. When the water levels are high enough, guests can enjoy a traditional mokoro trip through the unexplored reed-lined channels where the shy sitatunga is frequently spotted. When the water levels are high enough, guests can enjoy boat-based safaris, and fishing excursions.
