Spending a morning walking and interacting with the elephants was an experience that I will never forget and I would highly recommend this activity to anyone that wants an up close and personal experience with these amazing animals.

Baines' Camp is an exclusive lodge named after the gamed 19th century explorer and artist Thomas Baines. The camp is located on the Boro River, in a private concession neighbouring the Moremi Game Reserve. Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the intimate Baines' Camp features five luxurious suites set on elevated platforms in the tree line. Wooden desks offer expansive views over the permanent water of the Boro River and a lagoon teeming with life. This area is superb for viewing all animal and bird species. Guests may explore by land and water, often into the night to discover nocturnal species.

  • Baines is well suited to honeymooners with only 5 luxury suites on elevated platforms with starbeds! The four-poster beds are fully mobile, giving guests the choice of slumber under star laden skies. Avid astronomers will delight in stargazing from the privacy of their own deck.
  • Walking safaris are a speciality at Baines', with skilled, armed guides introducing the area's natural wonders.
