Chief’s Camp, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

A Luxury Lodge or Hotel in Botswana

Camp Details

Woody, luminous, airy, with high ceilings, exposed beams and tidily thatched roofs – Chief’s Camp is a beautifully executed contemporary take on traditional safari style. Located on the north edge of Chief’s Island, the stilted camp overlooks the sprawling waterways of the Okavango Delta and its rich rollcall of wildlife, giving guests front-row seats to the permanent natural spectacle that plays out just beyond the terrace.

Though its rich royal heritage is referenced throughout, the camp today embraces a contemporary take on classic safari style. Wood is used generously, from the jackalberry logs hollowed out to make the traditional mokoros, to the whitewoods used to fashion the main bar where sundowners are served. Tactile woven rugs and sumptuous seating soften the living areas, with beaded chandeliers and wall-hangings rooting the decor in local craftsmanship. Accommodation is in 10 private thatched pavilions and the two-bedroom Geoffrey Kent Suite – all of which have their own private wraparound terrace with a close-to-nature outdoor shower, a plunge pool and panoramic views, so wildlife sightings are never far away. And if the sights and sounds of the Okavango aren’t soothing enough, the on-site spa offers environmentally conscious Africology treatments, rejuvenating facials, and therapeutic remedies to help guests fully unwind.
