Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Chief's Camp has 12 palatial bush chalets with thatched roofs, elevated wooden floors and sumptuous furnishings. En suite bathrooms have twin vanities, two showers (one out in the open); a large deck extends out from the lounge area complete with hammocks and director's chairs for the avid game viewers among us.

The main living area of Chief's Camp is built under the deep shade of enormous jackalberry trees and looks out over the plains of Chief's Island. A massive deck accommodates diners, game viewers and loungers alike; a swimming pool, reference library and curio shop offer mild diversion from the main feature: the game viewing.

Mombo Concession, in the Moremi Game Reserve, is considered the best predator safari experience in the Okavango Delta. Here, lion, leopard, hyena, wild dog and a host of smaller hunters compete for the best actor award, the spoils often shared among them in vicious public spats. White rhino have also made a triumphant comeback and Chief's Island is one of the few places in Botswana where you can see these magnificent beasts in their natural habitat.

Activities

Game drives and birding all year round; mokoro water safaris in high-water season usually between July and September; elephant walk.

Safari activities include guided game drives in special game viewing vehicles and, in the high water season from July to September, the mokoro polers guide you along the intricate maze of channels and lagoons in the delta for a scenic and exciting water safari. An essential extra is the elephant walk where three young elephants guide you through their land and tell you all about themselves in the most charming version of a walking safari ever concocted.
