Game Viewing

Baines' Camp is an exclusive oasis for those wishing to experience the true wilds of Botswana.

This area is superb for viewing all animals and bird species. Guests may explore by land and water, often into the night, to discover nocturnal species. The flood waters arrive in June, though there is often navigable water all year round due to the presence of the Boro River.

The "wet" season normally begins late December and lasts through early March. This season is favourable for the viewing of newborn mammals, summer flowers and the migration of rare birds. Predator viewing during this time remains quite good.

The "dry" season runs from late March to early December. The drier months between June and November are considered to be peak game-viewing months.
