Duba Plains Camp
The soul of Botswana’s “Wild Africa”, Duba Plains Camp is owned by National Geographic filmmakers and Great Plains Conservation co-founders, famous for their Eye of the leopard documentary following Mombo Camp’s famous Legadema. Pristine 77,000 acres of the Duba Plains Concession for the use of just 6 rooms at camp makes this a high-end, exclusive safari in Botswana.

Safari experience
As one of the most established wildlife regions in Botswana, many of the original nature documentaries have been filmed on location here. Plains game is popular here and game drives provide regular sightings of lion, buffalo, specialized antelope species and elephant. The large prides of lion at Duba Plains are famed for their interactions on cape buffalo hunts as immortalized in the National Geographic documentary ‘Eternal Enemies’. This area is seasonally Botswana’s absolute best wildlife destinations with several unique mammal sightings, in addition to the famous Big Five.
Heart of the Delta
Spread across a private 80,000-acre reserve, this haven is a stunning blend of palm-lined islands, vast floodplains, and rich woodlands. It was carefully selected as the home of acclaimed National Geographic filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers Dereck and Beverly Joubert, reflecting the camp's deep connection to nature and its untouched beauty.
Each suite at Duba Plains Camp offers sweeping views of the vast floodplain and the captivating wildlife that roams freely. The suites feature a comfortable lounge area and luxurious en-suite amenities such as dual vanities, both indoor and outdoor showers, and an indulgent bathtub. Ceiling fans and an eco-friendly air conditioning system provide a perfect balance of comfort and sustainability, ensuring a luxurious stay in harmony with the natural surroundings.

Guided Game Drives often start at sunrise, returning to camp for a late breakfast and departing again mid-afternoon after tea before returning just after sunset. However, guests can often spend the entire day out in the veld with a packed breakfast, lunch, and beverages if they wish. Our safaris will often continue into the night in search of nocturnal species. Night drives are incredibly prolific, and while they take patience, sightings commonly include lesser-known nocturnal mammals and even lion and hyena hunts.
Wildlife encounters
Duba Plains camp offers five luxury suites, each designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings while exuding the timeless elegance reminiscent of African safaris from the 1920s. Step onto your private veranda, complete with a refreshing plunge pool and a shaded sala, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the wilderness. The Duba Plains concession provides guests with an exclusive opportunity for intimate wildlife encounters.
For a completely exclusive experience, the luxurious 2-bedroom Duba Plains Suite features a private lounge with an outdoor plunge pool area and dining lounge. This private camp enjoys the services of a Private Guide and 4x4 vehicle, a private host and dedicated chef to look after your stay. Perfect for a family safari, or for friends traveling together.
