Okavango Delta - Sanctuary Chiefs Camp

Sanctuary Chief's Camp is located on Chief's Island, one of the many islands created by the seasonal floodwaters of the Okavango. The island was named after Chief Moremi, the hereditary king of the area who used the lands as his royal hunting grounds. The vast number of animals who congregate here make it easy to understand why the area was put aside for the chief. It was Moremi's people, the Tawana, who turned it into a reserve where animals are protected.

Please note: Extra nights can be added at an additional cost. Luggage restriction for all flights is 20kg per person in a soft bag.

The Delta is the largest inland delta system in the world and is a maze of lagoons and islands covering some 15,000 square kilometres. It is world renowned for its biodiversity and contrasts – a must see on any African safari. It is also home to an abundance of wildlife making it one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region.

The guest pavilions are hidden away in woodland that is characteristic of the area. All 12 rooms have their own private deck with indoor and outdoor showers. Generously draped mosquito nets and traditional ceiling fans also feature. There is a communal living room with stunning views over the floodplains, while the dining area surrounds a fire pit on the very edge of the plains where guests can continue their game viewing while enjoying fine cuisine and wines.
