Baines Camp
(Okavango Delta - Botswana)
Baines Camp - A Botswana Safari Lodge
Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta,
the small and intimate Baines' Camp features five luxurious suites set on
elevated platforms in the tree line. Wooden decks offer expansive views over the
permanent water of the Boro River and a 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.
Baines Camp is named after the 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 neighbouring the
Moremi, 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
permanent 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. (Subject to water levels.) 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 is a speciality 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'.
Location
The lodge, named after the famed nineteenth century explorer and artist,
