Overview of Baines' Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary

Baines' Lodge is ideally situated in a private concession that borders the Moremi Game Reserve.

Location & Setting

Surrounded by vast floodplains, papyrus-fringed channels, and lush islands, it provides an enchanting setting for wildlife encounters and long Delta sunsets. The camp's architecture incorporates environmentally friendly practices and materials from nearby sources to blend with the landscape. Because the lodge sits in a private concession, guides can lead walking safaris and night drives on top of the usual morning and afternoon game drives.

Rooms

Each suite is spacious, with an en-suite bathroom. Even during the hottest times of the year, traditional safari ceiling fans produce a cooling breeze. The suites' interiors combine modern design with African character. Finished and equipped to a high standard, they are a comfortable retreat between activities. The private verandas provide an area where guests can unwind and enjoy captivating views of the surrounding wilderness.

Facilities

The camp is an eco-friendly property named for the naturalist and painter Thomas Baines. Wooden walkways connect the central areas and rooms elevated above the Boro River. The lounge, bar, and indoor and outdoor dining areas are ideal for mingling and swapping tales with other guests. The swimming pool and wooden decks surrounding the main areas are perfect vantage points for watching hippos, elephants, and other wildlife. A&K reopened the lodge in 2025 after a full rebuild, adding an Explorer’s Lounge with microscopes, spotting scopes, maps and reference books, and guests are handed Leica binoculars on arrival. Scenic helicopter flights over the Delta can be booked as an extra.
