Stanley’s Camp
Though named after Henry Stanley – he of “Dr Livingstone, I presume?” fame – and, in certain aspects of its gracious, nostalgic design, evocative of an earlier age of travel, Stanley’s Camp is a picture of understated yet frankly undeniable luxury of a kind that footsore 19th-century explorers could scarcely have imagined. And beyond its elegant lounge and outdoor dining area, beyond the shade cast by ebony and kigelia trees, nothing but the broad horizons and seemingly unlimited natural splendour of the Okavango Delta, one of Africa’s grandest wildernesses, teeming with wildlife.

Setting
Stanley’s Camp is situated on a 260,000-acre private concession bordering the southern section of the Moremi Game Reserve. This is the heart of the UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta, a unique and uniquely beautiful wetland habitat – the largest inland delta on earth, in the midst of the Kalahari. The grassy plains of the delta flood seasonally and between May and September are transformed into a 15,000-square-kilometre patchwork of winding waterways, lagoons and tiny islands, teeming with wildlife – elephants, lions and resident and migratory birds in particular. Stanley’s Camp is an oasis within this oasis, where low-impact luxury meets grand-scale wilderness.

Stanley’s Camp is set within a 26,000-acre private concession adjacent to the vast and game-rich Moremi Game Reserve, which itself accounts for some 40 percent of the protected area of the Okavango Delta. Eyes peeled for elephant, hippo, buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, impala, zebra, wild dog, hyena… And that’s before we even get started with the birds.

Walking Safaris
Nothing quickens the senses quite like a stroll in the African wilderness. And because Stanley's Camp is located within a private concession, guided walks are not merely possible but strongly recommended (weather-permitting, as ever). Get your boots on.

Mokoro Excursions
At Stanley’s Camp you’re in the thick of the greatest inland river delta on the face of the earth – it makes sense to explore it on water when conditions permit. Excursions can be taken by mokoro – the traditional punt-like dugout canoe. (Seasonal Activity)
