About Rra Dinare Camp

It's all about location at this riverside camp in the southern Okavango
Rra Dinare (Setswana for "Father of many buffalo") is a camp on a private concession on the southeastern edge of the Okavango Delta, adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve. The camp's eight tents, sheltered by stands of riverine palms and hardwood trees, overlook the Gomoti River and its floodplains. Explore the waterways and the savanna grasslands, where the game viewing is rich all year – keep your camera to hand to capture antelope grazing on the rich grasses, leopard, lion, wild dog, cheetah, giraffe, elephant and hundreds of bird species. Expect great sightings, good accommodation, and warm, down-to-earth hospitality.

Property details

The property

Owned by veteran safari operators Under One Botswana Sky, newborn Rra Dinare continues the simple, traditional safari theme with smart but understated decor in the interiors. Here it's all about location. The thatched main area is stashed in the shady riverine forest lining the river and floodplain, its open-plan lounge, dining area and bar perfectly designed for armchair game viewing – and sightings are common. There's a cool swimming pool and a curio shop for trinkets.

The rooms

You'll find eight luxury tents dotted along the river and floodplain, set generously apart and offering spectacular views. Each tent features an en-suite bathroom, spacious lounge area and private veranda. Classic, homely furnishings and decor will put you at ease – the tents strike just the right balance between hotel comfort and safari simplicity.

Activities

The daily schedule of activities is flexible, with a focus on day and night game drives. Drives are conducted with a maximum of six passengers, ensuring everyone has an optimal game viewing and photographing experience. Depending on the season, you can head off on guided walks or mokoro and motorboat excursions, including fishing. Birders can look out for rare Pel’s fishing-owl, African skimmer, greater swamp warbler, wattled crane, bateleurs, vivid kingfishers and many more species.

Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

In the Okavango Delta, night drives aren't very common so take advantage of Rra Dinare's location and see what nocturnal creatures you can spot.
Something to think about

Something to think about

The camp lies in one of the last areas to be reached by the annual floodwaters that trickle down from Angola. Visit between March and October to enjoy the full range of watery activities, including fishing, mokoros and boating.
