In the heart of the sublime Okavango Delta, the elegant Duke's Camp enchants guests with an incomparable safari lifestyle. Under magnificent ebony trees and on raised wooden decks, you will experience a blend of timeless elegance and adventurous spirit. The luxurious tented suites, adorned with Persian rugs and antique finds, exude the charm of bygone times, while you experience the magic of the delta on game drives, mokoro tours, or with a sundowner by the pool.
Start the day with an exciting safari where you can spot lions, leopards, or a family of wild dogs playing, or glide gently through the delta in a traditional mokoro and observe elephants and rare bird species up close. Adventurers will be tempted by fishing trips, hot air balloon rides, or even a romantic night camping under the sparkling starry sky. If you are looking for relaxation, the solar-powered swimming pool or soothing spa treatments invite you to unwind. For cultural discoveries, we recommend a trip to the Tsodilo Hills World Heritage Site, where ancient rock paintings tell of the history and mysticism of the region.
Twelve elegant canvas safari suites stand on raised wooden decks overlooking the delta's waterways. Inside, hand-carved four-poster beds are draped with ruffled canopies; cozy leather armchairs and chests adorn the rooms. In the evening, a hot water bottle is provided, while large Persian rugs and lamps add extra coziness. The large bathrooms are equipped with fine brass fittings and mahogany dressers, while the sun decks offer quiet, private places to observe the surrounding landscape—from over 400 species of birds to herds of elephants and red lechwe.
At sunrise, the promise of a bush breakfast beckons. As the first rays of sunlight break through the morning mist, the hood of a Land Cruiser becomes a stage for freshly baked muffins, crispy sandwiches, and strong coffee. Afternoon tea is a ritual where cakes and cookies are served under the shade of majestic ebony trees, before a delicious dinner under the starry sky or in the warm glow of the illuminated marquee crowns the day. Don't miss the African pepper specialty "Pilipili Ho Ho," whose fiery intensity is given an incomparable depth by months of marinating in gin.
Under the shade of ancient ebony trees and surrounded by the gentle waterways of the northern Okavango Delta, a world that seems to have emerged from a dream awaits you. Here, adventure and luxury, untamed wilderness and the finest comforts merge in a harmony that only the heart of Africa can offer. The elegant safari suites, with their handcrafted four-poster beds, antique rugs, and soft velvet fabrics, are true oases of elegance that still celebrate closeness to nature. During the day, game drives beckon to see lions, leopards, and elephants, while romantic mokoro trips take you along sparkling waterways reflecting the African sun.
