A small, expedition-style Explorer-Collection camp on a tree-shaded island in the northern Duba Concession. With just five classic safari tents, Duba Explorers focuses on flexible day & night drives, excellent walking safaris, and seasonal boating/canoeing when channels flood with the proper “Delta life” without the fuss. A small plunge pool near the main area is perfect for the midday cool-down.

Our Favorite Rooms

All 5 tents have a similar layout and are on low decking with mosquito-netted beds, plumbed en-suite (double basins & hot shower), flush loo, fan, in-tent charging and a shaded veranda.

Dining

Unfussy, under-canvas expedition cuisine: early coffee & rusks, frequent bush breakfasts, picnic/larder lunches to keep you out all day, and relaxed plated three-course dinners by lantern. Menus handle all preferences, plant-forward options on request, with quality proteins (Botswana beef, free-range chicken, local bream). All drinks included.

Packing Tips

Soft duffel; neutral layers (chilly dawns Jun–Aug); light rain shell (Nov–Mar); buff for dust; headlamp; sandals/swimsuit for channel-edge/wading or the plunge pool.

Insider Tips

Use the main-area plunge pool at 13:00–14:00, elephants often move quietly through back channels then; keep binoculars on the pool rail. Ask for a long grassland transect in the cool of early morning specifically to track wild dog; their pace drops as heat builds. When channels run, do a canoe out / walk back (age/conditions allowing) to layer three perspectives in one outing.
