Chief's Camp Botswana

The luxurious Chief's Camp Botswana is situated on Chief's Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, within the Moremi Game Reserve. Here, wildlife and wilderness are as abundant as action, adrenaline, refinement and relaxation at this remarkable remodelled Camp. Personal service, an extraordinary setting, exceptional viewing, and enthusiastic expert guides separate this property from others in this world-famous Heritage listed destination. At Chief's Camp, one can expect exceptional attention to detail and strong environmental and philanthropic credentials to ensure the ultimate luxury safari experience.

Intimate and exclusive, Chief's Camp by Sanctuary is set in an outstanding natural landscape. Thanks to soul-stirring perspectives from the private pavilions, the lounge deck and your dinner tables, you won't ever miss the thrill of a viewing. As well as ensuring a distinct sense of Botswanan place, every encounter and activity feels authentic, thanks to the camp having been reimagined in keeping with local traditions and cultures – which is how we believe responsible tourism should be.

Bush Pavilions

Chief's Camp Botswana's sophisticated accommodation with natural hues and materials complementing the charismatic scenery offers spacious, breezy and stylish bush pavilions. At 460 ft2 (140m2), these ten suites are some of the region's most-spacious accommodations to spend the night in this pristine wilderness destination. Modern enhancements, such as air-conditioning and traditional fans, are among the high-end discerning traveller amenities. The bathrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, folding glass doors leading to outdoor showers, and generous tubs, perfect for long, indulgent soaks.

If you're looking for something a little more secluded for you and your family; why not try the Geoffrey Kent Luxury Suite?

Utmost privacy and superlative comfort are assured from this 2,035 ft2 (620m2) suite, which sleeps up to six – with each guest treated like royalty, but with discretion. Named after the explorer Geoffrey Kent, and inspired by this award-winning photographer and polo-playing philanthropist's intrepid travels, you can expect characterful interiors as well as a kitchen, indoor lounge, private boma (meaning a 'safe enclosure') and secluded deck areas. Included in the perks of this luxurious suite is superb service, which includes your own vehicle and dedicated guide, as well as a personal chef, waiter and a housekeeper.

The game viewing opportunities at Chief's Camp Botswana are awe-inspiring. On the plains, one may find the roaming lions that prey on the thousands of antelope, zebra, and buffalo who live here all year round. There are also healthy populations of wild dogs. These extremely rare predators have been hunted to the point of extinction in most areas of Africa and this is one of their last strongholds. There are several local lion prides and leopards, and genet cats and hyenas in abundance.

When it comes to Chief's Camp activities, guests can choose to explore the Delta in modified open 4 x 4 vehicles on morning and afternoon game drives, or Mokoros which are local dugout canoes. These water-based safaris offer a different perspective of the bush in the company of a highly trained local guide.

For the more adventurous, helicopters are also a perfect way to explore deep into the Delta exposing permanent waterways, palm islands and lagoons, with sweeping views of floodplains and incredible game sightings. Doors are removed for unrestricted views which offers great photographic opportunities.

Chief's Camp Botswana regularly earns rankings among the world's top safari destinations from industry-leading judges such as Condé Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure.

This was our 4th trip to Africa and by far the best ever. All the details were properly handled; we had not flight problems or delays and the service provided by Safari Guru was outstanding. I would recommend them, and have to friends and family. We will be going back to Africa with the outstanding Staff of Safari Guru.

We recently returned from Kenya, had a fabulous safari designed by Deon de Villiers of Safari Guru. We had some wonderful sightings and the whole thing went without a single hiccup. The guides were excellent. Deon was so helpful in allowing us to reschedule several times due to COVID restrictions preventing travel. We visited Sirikoi in the Lewa Conservancy and Serian Ngare, Serian Nkorombo and Mara Plains at Masai Mara, each place offering a different experience, each special in its own way. Loved the rhinocerous at Lewa, giraffe giving birth at Ngare, hippopotamus at Nkorombo and cats at Mara Plains, and so so much more. We highly recommend Deon and the Safari Guru team.

We finally got to take our Kenya/Rwanda adventure with Safari Guru post pandemic. Our trip was a fantastic experience that immersed us in Africa. The holiday went as planned, everything was organised so we were gently steered from place to place, which we enjoyed as we found we weren't "travel fit" after sitting on sidelines for two years! Our lodges in Kenya were beautiful, nice and small, felt like you were part of a family, rather than a customer! Rwanda was a highlight, an amazing country with a shocking past that is moving forward beautifully. The advice from Deon to do two gorilla walks was perfect. Our first day we hiked in to mountain and when we got there the heavens opened and it didn't stop! The scouts found 6 gorillas for us to glimpse as they were hiding from rain too! We trekked down in the mud, rivers of water ending up bedraggled! It was a great experience but the next day was perfect! Beautiful blue skies, trekked up and gorillas were everywhere, sunning themselves and eating vigorously. Was awesome being so close and they couldn't care less! Would highly recommend safari Guru, they planned us a perfect holiday and are easy to contact with queries and answer promptly. Travelling on our own was great as each place we stayed, there were like travellers from around the world to socialise with. Thanks Deon and Ashley

I was completely blown away with the service I received from Safari Guru. We had a most marvellous holiday in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Everything went extremely well and the Wilderness team were excellent in looking after us at each of their safari camps. Well done to Deon and Ashley, Morag Cotsell

Had an amazing experience working with Deon and Safari Guru. My wife and I went into this trip thinking of it as a once in a lifetime experience. Because of our experience we have another trip in mind to bring our children so they can have the same amazing experience that we had. Thank you Deon! We look forward to seeing you again!

Safari Guru organized us an amazing journey in Namibia for our wedding anniversary; it will be long lasting and marvelous memories for years! We also greatly appreciated the dedication and support of Safari Guru's team during these challenging times of the Covid pandemic as they had to re-arrange 2 times our trip initially planned for 2020. Thanks and kudos to Deon and all at Safari Guru!

Botswana! What an incredible destination as we begin to travel again. This is a trip of a lifetime. The game drives were exhilarating, the people are friendly, the food fantastic, and the accommodations are meant to spoil you. Our trip was beautifully planned and executed by Deon De Villiers and his team at Safari Guru. They have been to every camp they recommend and tailor your safari experience to you. What else could you ask for! We will travel with them again and highly recommend Safari Guru to plan your next trip!
