Chief's Camp
Moremi Game Reserve
Accommodation
Each of the 10 bush pavilions features a private dining area, a tranquil outside seating area and a terrace pool. The rooms are climate controlled with en-suite bathrooms, indoor & outdoor shower, bathtub and floor-to-ceiling windows that are perfect for absorbing the surrounding plains and majestic African skies. The design of the camp is certainly not as spectacular as some of the other premier camps in the Okavango Delta, but apart from Mombo Camp this is one of the very few options for a safari on Chief's Island.
The main area includes the dining area, a lounge, bar and library area. In front of the main deck there is a round boma area with an open fire place. The swimming pool is located at the far side of the main building. A new orientation room where guests can learn more about the Delta before going on game drives has been added as well as a gym and kids play room.
Location
Chief's Camp is located on the northern tip of Chief's Island in the Moremi Game Reserve. Chief's Island is the largest landmass in the Okavango Delta, and home to an incredible variety of wildlife. Chief's Camp closes neighbour is Wilderness Mombo Camp.
Chief's Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. The private airstrip is located just 2 km from camp, the transfer into camp takes about 40 minutes. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 25 minutes, and 1 hour 30 minutes to Kasane.
Wildlife
The game drives around camp are usually very productive. Lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena are encountered on a regular basis, hippo and crocs are found in the channels and lagoons where elephant and buffalo like to take a mudbath.
Black and white rhino have been successfully reintroduced to the Moremi Game Reserve after dying out completely in Botswana. Rhinos are encountered more and more often and complement any safari in Botswana. A sighting of one of these beasts is always a fantastic highlight.
Activities
Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, no night driving (as located in Moremi Game Reserve). Mokoro (dugout) excursions if water levels permit (seasonal).
