Game Viewing

The area is home to a wide variety of big game including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. This private concession is located by definition in seasonal delta. The floodwaters arrive around June, although there is often navigable water all year round due to the presence of the Boro River.

Game viewing in the area is extremely good with excellent numbers of predators and plains game on offer. The area houses one of the largest buffalo populations in the Okavango Delta, which, in the dry season, can concentrate into a herd in excess of 2000 head.

Wildlife Activities

Game-drives are conducted in custom built open 4 X 4 vehicles. Game drives are conducted early morning and late afternoon or as otherwise requested (subject to availability). The accompanying professional guides are among the best in Botswana. As Stanley's Camp is situated on a private concession, night drives are offered and are usually combined with the afternoon activity.
