Further Information
Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the small and
intimate Baines Camp has just 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 have
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 slumbering under star laden skies from the privacy of their own deck. This
exclusive lodge is named after 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. You can explore the surrounding area
by land and water both by day and by night. 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. A myriad
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 are
a speciality at Baines with skilled, armed guides introducing the area's natural
wonders.
