Stanley's Camp, Botswana

Gregory Fox

The highlight for me at Stanley's Camp was exploring the area on foot. Feeling more at one with the environment and witnessing animals literally metres from me was exhilarating and something I would highly recommend. On the whole Stanley's Camp offers excellent accommodation and guiding.

Set in an amphitheatre of ebony and sausage trees on the southern tip of Chief's Island, Stanley's Camp borders the southern section of the Moremi Game Reserve. This private concession is located by definition in seasonal delta. The floodwaters arrive around June, although there is often navigable water all year round due to the presence of the Boro River. The area is home to a wide variety of big game including elephant, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog, as well as one of the largest buffalo populations in the Okavango Delta.

Location

The camp is accessible by air from Maun (15 minutes) and Kasane (1 hour 30 minutes). The drive to the camp from the airstrip is approximately 20 minutes.

Highlights

  • Game viewing in the area is extremely good with excellent numbers of predators and plains game on offer. The area houses one of the largest buffalo populations in the Okavango Delta, which, in the dry season, can concentrate into a herd in excess of 2000 head.
  • Walking safaris are offered at Stanley's Camp with skilled, armed guides introducing the area's natural wonders.
  • Baines offers a unique elephant interaction activity. This encompasses a leisurely paced walk with a trio of semi-habituated elephants, becoming personally acquainted with them, observing and interacting with them and a picnic lunch in their company.

Botswana Review

Wonderful safari, we saw more than I ever anticipated. I'm glad it's quality and not quantity in Botswana, we only ever encountered a few other safari vehicles per day.
