The Duba Concession lies in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta, a vast wilderness of seasonal floodplains, palm-dotted islands, and permanent channels that support an extraordinary diversity of wildlife. Renowned for its high concentrations of game, the area is particularly famous for its large herds of buffalo, prolific predator populations, and exceptional opportunities to observe lion-buffalo interactions. Situated within this pristine concession, Sitatunga Private Island offers a more intimate and exclusive perspective of the Delta, surrounded by papyrus-lined waterways and rich wetland habitats. The area is especially renowned for its rare semi-aquatic species, including the elusive sitatunga antelope and red lechwe. With both mokoro excursions and boating safaris on offer, guests are able to experience the Okavango Delta’s unique aquatic ecosystem from an entirely different perspective, exploring its maze of channels, lagoons, and papyrus-lined waterways.
The Selinda reserve is vast, beautiful and rich in wildlife. And yet one of the least visited areas, a hidden gem known mostly to keen safari goers and those attracted by some of the most famous luxury camps. This is 320k acre reserve is shared by just 3 camps, making it an incredibly exclusive safari experience. The north-eastern corners of the reserve are some of the most beautiful in Botswana, lovely grass plains are dotted with palm tree islands and fringed with tall forests. The reserve is named after the Selinda Spillway, an ephemeral channel which occasionally connects the Linyanti and Okavango delta areas in times of high flood. The game viewing is especially exciting in the dry season, when plains game are plentiful and predator sightings frequent. Lion, leopard and hyena are commonly seen here. Activities include day and night drives, guided walks and boating, when water levels permit.
A superb itinerary for those looking for a premier safari experience. The great game viewing is matched by the excellent in-camp experience. The vintage style of these camps will appeal to those who are drawn to the romance of the original safari pioneers in the early 20th Century.
