Baines’ Camp, Okavango

Sanctuary Baines’ Camp is located on a huge private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana. Set in a grove of trees, and surrounded by papyrus beds, this low-impact and environmentally-friendly camp has been built using commercially-grown wood and recycled tin cans. Named after the 19th century explorer and painter Thomas Baines, this camp is raised above the permanent water of the Boro River while wooden walkways connect the main areas and luxury rooms. There are only five suites, all with en-suite facilities and four-poster beds. The beds can be wheeled out onto the private wooden deck for a night under the stars, overlooking the shimmering waters of the Boro River, where hippo can often be spotted. A private star bath can be set up on the viewing deck upon request. This is Sanctuary's smallest and most intimate camp.
