Baines camp is named after the famed nineteenth century explorer and artist, Thomas Baines.

Set amongst the shady trees and water of the Okavango Delta, the small and intimate Baines Camp features just five luxurious suites set on elevated platforms in the tree line. Wooden decks offer expansive views over the permanent water of the Boro River and a lagoon teeming with life. Inside each suite there is a four poster beds with soft luxurious fabrics adding the romantic touch of a bygone era. The beds are mobile, giving you the opportunity to sleep under a star filled sky. The elevated suites feature a spacious bedroom and the beds are fully mobile, giving guests the choice of slumber under star-laden skies.

The main area features an oversize deck for outdoor dining and views over the permanent water of the lagoon, as well as a swimming pool for refreshing bathing.

A big advantage of Baines is that it is located on a private reserve of 260,000 acres, which means you can enjoy your game viewing in privacy. You can also take safaris by open vehicle, during the day and at night, on foot with an armed guide, and by mokoro canoe, giving you a wide range of perspectives from which to enjoy the wildlife.

Baines Camp has three elephants that are habituated to the presence of people and at additional cost it is possible to spend around four hours with these elephants. You can touch them, watch them interact, listen to the sounds by which they communicate and take a walk with them through the bush as they move silently on their giant feet and occasionally tear branches off trees. This is a thrilling experience and one that gives you a privileged insight to the habits and lifestyle of these ancient creatures.
