Duba Plains is a five-suite camp on a palm island in the Duba concession in the northern Delta, an area of seasonally flooded plains that separates its buffalo herds and lion prides by water for much of the year. Suites are raised, with indoor lounges, en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and private verandas with pools. Guests do open-vehicle drives, guided bush walks, mokoro trips and boating, with more than 200 bird species recorded. The camp lends professional camera bodies and lenses at no charge and gives guests their images. Helicopter excursions, including to the Tsodilo Hills rock art, can be arranged. Operated by Great Plains Conservation.
What sets it apart
The flooded-plain setting produces daytime lion-on-buffalo hunting behaviour that made the concession the subject of Dereck and Beverly Joubert's films.
Who it suits
Lion and buffalo; wildlife photography with lent equipment; small camp.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Okavango Delta, Botswana. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, see the property's own site.
