Mma Dinare, a name meaning "Mother Buffalo" in the local Setswana language, occupies an idyllic position overlooking the Gomoti River on the southeastern edge of the Okavango Delta. The camp sits within a 67,000-acre private concession adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve, offering an intimate and authentic safari experience that emphasizes wildlife immersion over architectural grandeur.
The concession's southeastern positioning creates distinct seasonal wildlife dynamics. During the dry season, when game congregates around permanent water sources, wildlife density concentrates dramatically around the Gomoti River and floodplains. The landscape transitions between riverine forests, acacia and mopane woodlands, and open grasslands, creating diverse habitats that support varied fauna and avian populations. The camp itself is elevated on stilts and constructed with open-air thatched structures that harmonize with the Delta's riverine forest setting while maintaining unobstructed views across the floodplains.
The area attracts notable predator concentrations including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African wild dogs. Buffalo herds favor the river's proximity, creating regular predator-prey interactions. Elephants, giraffe, kudu, impala, hippopotamus, and various antelope species including rare sable and roan roam the concession. Game drives accommodate maximum six guests accompanied by a guide and tracker, with night drives available for nocturnal species observation. Seasonal water levels permit mokoro canoe excursions along the river, while walking safaris explore areas dependent on vegetation density and wildlife presence.
The camp operates as an ecologically conscious facility powered by solar energy and utilizing sustainable materials and waste management systems. The relaxed, welcoming atmosphere emphasizes authentic Delta safari experiences with attentive hospitality. The Kwando Safaris operator limits the concession to 40 total guests distributed across two camps, ensuring exclusive and uncrowded game viewing opportunities throughout the year.
