GUNN’S CAMP – CHEIF’S ISLAND – OKAVANGO DELTA
Overlooking Chief’s Island and bordering the Moremi Game Reserve and set along the papyrus-clad banks of the Okavango Delta, Gunn’s Camp is a luxury, vintage eco-friendly safari camp set under leafy palms and African Ebony trees. Explore this wilderness area with game walks, mokoro and boating safaris, fishing and island sleep-outs in comfort and experience a very remote part of Africa. Do note that game drives are not offered at Gunn’s Camp and the camp is best complemented with another camp in the Okavango Delta offering game drives.
LOCATION
Gunn’s Camp is located bordering the Moremi Game Reserve within the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana.
CAMP
Set on raised platforms overlooking the delta plains, Gunn’s Camp has just 6 fully furnished deluxe Kenya-style Meru tents with ensuite bathrooms featuring standalone baths and outside private showers. All 6 tents are discretely set within the densely treed island ensuring privacy and tranquillity and have been traditionally furnished with a mixture of solid wood and African furniture. The tents have a lounge area at the front of the tent and a private veranda to watch wildlife during the day.
The accommodation area is connected to the main camp via raised wooden walkways crossing the wetlands and magically lit by fairy-like lanterns. All our guests can enjoy the elevated bar, lounge and dining room, our campfire boma and the sparkling pool.
The top deck boasts a large bar with magnificent views overlooking Chief’s Island and the dining deck is on two separate levels.
ACTIVITIES AND WILDLIFE
Activities include motor boat cruises, mokoro excursions, guided game walks, fishing and island sleep-outs.
Game walks – take place on Chief’s Island, in the Moremi Game Reserve, separated from Ntswi Island by the Boro River channel. Each guide takes two guests by mokoro to different areas of the Reserve where the focus is not solely on the larger species but learning about the habits of the smaller animals, sighting birds and learning their calls, as well as identifying plant-life and their medicinal uses. Guides converse in English and offer a rare insight into the unique phenomenon of the Delta and the importance of the “little things” within this diverse ecosystem.
GUNN’S CAMP IS OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND
THE CAMP WELCOMES CHILDREN AGED 12 AND OVER
