The Accommodation

The Duba Plains Suite represents the absolute pinnacle of exclusive safari accommodation in the Okavango Delta. This stunning two-bedroom tented villa operates completely independently from the main Duba Plains Camp, essentially functioning as your own private safari retreat. Built on raised recycled railway sleeper decking, the suite offers panoramic views across the floodplains where wildlife constantly parades past. The design beautifully evokes the sophisticated elegance of 1920s exploration while delivering thoroughly contemporary luxury and comfort throughout.

The layout is thoughtfully conceived, with a central indoor lounge and dining area flanked by two spacious bedrooms, each opening onto its own private verandah. Both bedrooms feature beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers plus luxurious bathtubs, and each veranda comes complete with its own private plunge pool and shaded outdoor sala. One bedroom even includes a spinning bike for guests who want to work up an appetite between meals. The entire suite benefits from solar-powered air conditioning over the bed areas, ceiling fans, and careful design that maintains comfortable temperatures throughout. As befits accommodation created by professional wildlife photographers, the suite comes equipped with a complete professional camera kit including a Canon 5D with lenses for guests' complimentary use, with all images downloaded onto a storage device as a parting gift.

What truly sets the Duba Plains Suite apart is the complete exclusivity and personalized service. Guests enjoy their own private safari guide and dedicated vehicle, a personal chef who prepares meals according to your preferences, and a butler/manager attending to every detail. You have your own private entrance and operate on your own schedule entirely, with access to the main camp's boutique just an easy walk away. It's the ultimate combination of privacy, luxury, flexibility, and extraordinary wildlife encounters in one of Africa's most spectacular wilderness settings.
