Duba Explorers Camp

Sweeping canvas-covered thatch shelters the communal area, with its raised decking, and dining and lounge areas that open to the outdoors on all sides. Don't expect bling here – the furniture may appear simple and the colours muted, but make no mistake, your every need and comfort has been catered for. In the evenings, the fire pit is always a popular spot to enjoy an Amarula and recount the day’s sightings. There's also a swimming pool. The camp is solar powered.

The camp's six expedition-style tents have large mosquito-netted beds, comfortable seating, a small desk, a ceiling fan and an en-suite bathroom with hot and cold running water, a flush loo, double basins and indoor shower, and a private deck with floodplain views. The double doors can be zippered shut.

Day and night game drives (or whenever you fancy) with the eagle-eyed guides are super-productive, with animals revealing themselves at every turn. The floodplains can be explored in one of three vehicles adapted with extra-high suspension and huge tyres, and customised for photographers. Explore the water channels in a powerboat, water depending, or take a guided game walk with an armed guide.
