Game Viewing

The wildlife at Duba Plains has traditionally been fascinating. The camp focuses on the incredible wildlife in the area through game drives, which are conducted during the day and at night in open 4 x 4 vehicles. This pristine area is home to Lion, Lechwe, Elephant, Aardwolf, Bat-eared fox, Side-striped jackal and huge herds of Buffalo, as well as a large variety of Okavango Delta bird life. Wattled Cranes and Slaty Egrets are some of the Okavango specials found in the area.

Thousands of buffalo are hunted almost daily by two different prides of lions. Often the hunting has been during the day - so our guests have had great photo opportunities.

Tsessebe and warthog dot the savannah and hippo concentrate in the deeper channels. We often have productive hyaena dens in the area that offer great hyaena cub viewing. Leopard are found on the forested islands.
