Okavango Delta
Surrounded by the wilderness of the delta, every minute of the day is a special moment at the detailed Dubai Plains Camp. The view from the spacious terrace alone is like watching a documentary. The private plunge pool offers refreshment with a view at all times.
Depending on the water level, unforgettable trips are arranged for you in a mokoro. You glide quietly along the Riverbank past bathing elephants or even over the backs of diving hippos. Small freshly baked delicacies and fine wine complete your mokoro experience. You will experience new and unique natural spectacles every day of your luxury safari.
The true magic of the delta is revealed by the masses of water that flow out of the distant Highlands of Angola and pour into the channels and floodplains of the delta: In winter, when the sun leaves the surrounding Kalahari dry and thirsty, the flood reaches the Okavango Delta and creates paradisiacal conditions for the wildlife of southern Africa. When the wildlife gathers in this huge oasis, it is a hive of activity. Every year, the inhabitants reshape the delta: termites build their imposing mounds on the palm-covered islands. The mighty hippos constantly open up new waterways as they move through the reeds.
The Okavango Delta has many faces, which change frequently over the course of the year due to weather changes. Depending on the water level, the islands are larger or smaller. The animals migrate to the areas where life is easiest and the grass is greenest. Within a few days, a drivable sand road can turn into a waterway, which can then be explored by boat instead of off-road vehicles. When and where you stay in the Okavango Delta will greatly influence your activities in the bush, your game viewing opportunities and your overall safari experience. Dubai Plains, with its secluded location, is a true jewel of the Okavango Delta.
