Stanleys Camp

One of the camp's main attractions is the unique walk-with-elephants experience. Elephant lovers get a rare interaction with these intelligent creatures. If you want to walk with elephants and be spoiled by more luxury - you might consider the sister property - Baines Camp.  — Mango's view

Stanley's Camp is a luxury camp situated on a 260,000 acre private concession, bordering the southern section of the famous Moremi Game Reserve, thus affording guests absolute exclusivity. The camp overlooks the Boro River and the area is home to a wide variety of big game including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog.

Guest accommodation consists of 8 classic styled safari tents. The delicately appointed tents exude classic Africa; handcrafted beds dressed with the finest linen, antique furniture individually selected and oriental carpets that transport you to early 19th century Africa. Each unit offers ensuite facilities and a private balcony. Hammocks and Morris chairs on the balcony are perfect for relaxation in the African sunshine. The main building is raised on decking and offers extensive views over the surrounding floodplains. Stanley's is carefully blended into the existing tree line, its main support being a large sausage tree.

Stanley's Camp offers some of the best game viewing in the Okavango, including the rare and elusive wild dog. The unique and educational experience with a group of semi-habituated African elephants is available at Stanley's (additional cost). Spend a day walking with the elephants and observing them up close in their natural environment. Other activities available at Stanley's Camp include serene mokoro canoe excursions (subject to water levels), exclusive bush dinners, and game drives in customized, open 4 x 4 vehicles - including the rare opportunity of night drives. Due to the fact that Stanley's Camp is in a private concession, guests also have the exclusive option of walking safaris with an armed professional guide.
