Chief’s Camp, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

A Luxury Lodge or Hotel in Botswana

Camp Details

An extravagantly beautiful island amid the vast watery splendour of the Okavango Delta, slightly raised above the level of the floodplain by tectonic activity and therefore the ideal spot for wildlife (and chiefs) to retreat as seasonal water levels rise. Its days as a royal hunting ground are over, but the beauty remains and the wildlife flourishes – Chief’s Camp, in a luxuriantly leafy spot at a bend on the river, is quite literally surrounded by what may well be the richest concentration of wildlife in Botswana.

Chief’s Island is one of the largest and most historically significant islands in the Moremi Game Reserve. This is the heart of the UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta, a unique and uniquely beautiful wetland habitat – the largest inland delta on earth, in the midst of the Kalahari. The grassy plains of the delta flood seasonally and between May and September are transformed into a 15,000-square-kilometre patchwork of winding waterways, lagoons and tiny islands, teeming with wildlife – elephants, lions and resident and migratory birds in particular. Chief’s Camp is an oasis within this oasis, where low-impact luxury meets grand-scale wilderness.
