Duba Plains Camp

Duba Plains Camp sits in the 33,000-hectare (81,545-acre) Duba Concession, a private reserve of palm-dotted islands, floodplains, and woodland in the Okavango Delta. National Geographic filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert, co-founders of Great Plains, chose this area for many of their wildlife films and have lived at the camp for nearly 20 years. The camp has only five suites, built on raised decks of recycled railway sleepers, with a 1920s-inspired safari design. It is part of the Great Plains Réserve-Collection and a member of Relais & Châteaux. Rates cover accommodation, scheduled activities, all meals, drinks, laundry, and scheduled air transfers. Great Plains employs wildlife rangers across its areas to monitor the movement and breeding of rhinos, elephants, and big cats.

Rooms & Suites
Accommodation is in private suites raised on recycled railway sleeper decking and spaced for privacy. Each suite has an indoor lounge area and a private veranda with a swimming pool and a shaded sala overlooking the floodplain. Rooms are cooled by ceiling fans and an environmentally friendly air-conditioning system positioned over the bed. The en-suite bathroom has double vanities, a flush toilet, indoor and outdoor showers, and a bath. Each suite is supplied with a professional camera with a selection of lenses and high-quality binoculars for complimentary use, and guests receive a download of their wildlife photos and video at the end of their stay.

Hotel Amenities & Facilities
The main area has a central dining room, a lounge, an interactive kitchen, a wine cellar, and a library. An extended raised deck under large ebony trees is used for outdoor dining. All meals are included, along with non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, including premium-brand spirits and champagne. Laundry service is included in the rate. Scheduled light aircraft transfers between camps and from Maun or Kasane airport are included for stays of two nights or more.
