One of our favourite places to stay in the Okavango Delta,
Duba Plains is one of only two camps to hold the prestigious Relais &
Châteaux accreditation. Stay here and your welcome into the African bush will
be one of sheer style and indulgence. The beautifully designed canvas rooms
each offer a large, open-plan bathroom. A stunning, Victorian copper bath tub
forms the centrepiece of each bathroom – the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing
soak as you overlook the endless floodplains. And your chances of seeing
incredible wildlife from your tub are good too – the rise in water levels in
the last decade has seen an increased number of sightings of buffalo, lion and
a diverse range of other species in the area.
The centre of the camp boasts a raised dining room and a covered lounge area. Sink into one of the comfortable leather sofas and watch the local wildlife walk by as you sip a fresh cup of coffee. If you’d prefer to dine privately, you’ll have your pick of options. We can arrange for dinner to be served in the well-stocked wine cellar, and the library provides a cosy backdrop on cooler evenings. However, we think the best way to dine at Duba Plains is out under the stars. Enjoy delicious, freshly prepared dishes and world-class wines as the sounds of distant lion calls serenade you.
