This natural phenomenon, creating a series of fleeting waterways and floodplains, has given birth to one of the most amazing ecological wonders.
The opportunity to sit in a makoro (dugout canoe) being poled along by a professional guide, while gliding silently pass Africa’s Big 5, will imprint itself indelibly in your memory.
The Okavango Delta has earned its reputation as one of the world’s number one wilderness areas, being home to the full spectrum of African big game animals.

ACTIVITIES
Game viewing

Floating safaris
The permanent water of the camp will reveal a world of floating safaris:
Mokoro safari: Explore water safaris at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro (dug-out-canoe) excursion (offered most of the year, subject to water levels).

A myriad of waterways, feathery beds of papyrus, and animal species, large and small, are waiting to be discovered. Sometimes there is no better way to tune into the bush than on foot, and walking safaris is a specialty at Baines Camp, with skilled, armed guides introducing the natural wonders of the area.
Elephant Interaction
The unique and educational elephant interaction is also an activity available to guests at Baines Camp at an additional cost.
