Bringing 1940s sophistication to the Okavango Delta, in a prime wilderness area.

## Profile

Nestled on an island along a lagoon's tranquil shores, Duke's Camp pays homage to its namesake, Sarefo 'Duke' Sarefo, the guardian of this pristine wilderness, born on the very island that the camp now occupies.

Eight canvas safari suites are adorned with vintage safari furnishings, sumptuous fabrics, Persian carpets, and handcrafted four-poster beds. These suites, perched on raised wooden decks beneath the shade of leadwood and ebony trees, grant breathtaking vistas of the delta's splendour.

## Profile

Within each suite, mahogany sideboards, elegant dressing tables, and opulent ensuite bathrooms replete with brass fixtures and premium amenities await. Between safari excursions, guests may unwind on their private outdoor decks furnished with leather campaign chairs - ideal for leisurely reading or simply absorbing nature.

Duke's Camp's communal spaces exude old-world charm reminiscent of its sister property, the famed Jack's Camp. Fitted out with campaign furniture, antique rugs, and cabinets brimming with intriguing mementos. A classic drinks cabinet and lounge area offer respite, while afternoon tea beckons in the elegant Persian tea-tent. A fire pit invites post-dinner storytelling, and a swimming pool offers glimpses of passing wildlife.

## Activities list

Explore the pristine private concession home to a rich array of wildlife including healthy populations of lion, leopard, cheetah, and elephant.

Glide through crystal-clear channels on a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) safari, as expert guides introduce you to the remarkable fauna and flora of the Delta.

Spend a night fly-camping on a remote, lantern-lit island, sleep under the stars armed with a mozzie net and a bedroll.

Cruise through the waterways, channels and lagoons in a flat-bottomed boat. A fabulous opportunity for birding or enjoying low-level views of wallowing willdife.
