Duba Plains is small and intimate, accommodating only twelve people in an exclusive area of about 35,000 hectares. Guests receive a highly personalised experience. Each of the six large tented rooms has an en suite bathroom with shower and flush toilet facilities as well as a veranda overlooking the floodplain. The dining room and pub are raised on decking under large riverine trees. There is a small communal pool too. The wildlife at Duba Plains is fascinating. As the vast open grasslands are often isolated from the mainland by deep waterways, the variety of animals is not as high as in other areas within the Okavango. However, Duba Plains more than makes up for this as it is a high impact game viewing area. Thousands of buffalo are hunted almost daily by up to four different prides of lions. Often the hunting is during the day - so one gets great photo opportunities. Lechwe, buffalo, elephant, tsessebe and warthog dot the savannah and hippo concentrate in the deeper channels. There are often productive hyena dens in the area that offer great hyena cub viewing. Leopard are found on the forested islands. Most of the Okavango Delta's birdlife is found in the area and birding "specials" like wattled crane and slaty egret are often seen. Activites offered include Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, mokoro excursions, walking safaris,night drives. Mekoros are best from May to October. For the rest of the year the camp can usually offer shorter mokoro excursions, but the activities concentrate more on game drives, night drives and walks |
