ACCESS & LOCATION of Baines’ Camp
The lodge is located in the Okavango Delta’s southern region, on a private concession adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve. Access is typically by light aircraft from Maun, Kasane, or other camps in the Delta, landing at a nearby airstrip followed by a short game drive to the lodge. Maun to Baines’ Camp takes around 20 minutes by air, while from Kasane the flight is about an hour and a half. There is no direct road access for regular vehicles due to the remoteness of the Delta, making air transfers the most efficient and scenic way to reach the camp.

ACTIVITIES AT Baines’ Camp
Game Drives
Morning and afternoon game drives take place in open 4×4 vehicles, exploring the concession and parts of the Moremi Game Reserve. The varied habitats mean a wide range of wildlife can be seen, including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, buffalo, and numerous antelope species. Guides are skilled at tracking and positioning the vehicle for close yet respectful encounters, and the small number of guests ensures unhurried sightings.
Walking Safaris
Guided bush walks offer a slower paced exploration of the area, focusing on the smaller details of the ecosystem. Accompanied by an armed guide, guests can track animals on foot, identify plants with medicinal uses, and observe birdlife at close range. Walks are a way to connect deeply with the Delta’s rhythms and textures, away from the sound of vehicle engines.
Mokoro Excursions
When water levels allow, traditional mokoro canoe trips provide a peaceful way to explore the shallow channels near camp. The silence of the mokoro makes it possible to get close to aquatic birds, frogs, and other small creatures, while also offering a unique view of the landscape from water level.
Motorboat Safaris
For deeper channels and lagoons, motorboat trips are available. These are excellent for seeing hippos, crocodiles, and larger waterbirds. The boat’s mobility allows for exploration of more remote areas and access to seasonal fishing spots for birdwatching.
Special Elephant Experience
Baines’ Camp is particularly famous for its elephant interaction experience, where guests can spend time walking with and learning from semi-habituated elephants alongside their handlers. This provides a rare opportunity to observe these intelligent animals up close, understand their behavior, and photograph them in a natural setting.
Birdwatching
The mix of riverine, floodplain, and woodland habitats supports an impressive variety of bird species. Guests can expect to see everything from African fish eagles to malachite kingfishers, making this a rewarding location for bird enthusiasts.
