Set in an amphitheatre of ebony and sausage trees on the southern tip of Chief’s Island, Stanley’s Camp borders the southern section of the Moremi Game Reserve. This private concession is located by definition in seasonal delta. The floodwaters arrive around June, although there is often navigable water all year round due to the presence of the Boro River.
The area is home to a wide variety of big game including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. Stanley’s consists of 8 classic styled safari tents raised on wooden decking. The decks are furnished with hammocks and Morris chairs. Each unit offers en-suite facilities, a private deck, and is equipped with a ceiling fan.
The main building is raised on decking and offers expansive views over the surrounding floodplains. There is also a swimming pool. Electricity, 240 volts, is supplied by a combination of silent packed generator and battery system allowing a 24-hour power supply.
Game viewing in the area is exceptional with good numbers of predators and plains game on offer. The area houses one of the largest buffalo populations in the Okavango Delta, which, in the dry season, can concentrate into a herd in excess of 2000 head.
Game-drives are conducted in custom built open 4 X 4 vehicles during the early morning and late afternoon, or as otherwise requested (subject to availability). Stanley’s professional guides are among the best in Botswana. As Stanley’s Camp is situated on a private concession, night drives are also offered and are usually combined with the afternoon activity. Explore on foot with skilled, armed professional guides. Guests can also enjoy water safaris at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro (offered most of the year, subject to water levels).
The unique and educational elephant interaction is a must (additional cost).
