Location & Setting
Chief’s Camp occupies a coveted position on Chief’s Island within Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, the wildlife-rich core of the Okavango Delta. This large island concentrates game as seasonal waters rise, attracting predators and prolific plains herds to its floodplains and woodlands. From camp, guests access classic Moremi habitats—palm-studded savanna, mopane woodland, and shimmering channels—on professionally guided drives. When annual inundation arrives, tranquil mokoro routes open up across reedbeds and lagoons, adding a serene water perspective to the experience. The setting blends remote wilderness atmosphere with seamless logistics via light aircraft transfers from Maun or Kasane.
Rooms
Accommodation comprises ten expansive luxury pavilions designed for privacy and uninterrupted delta vistas. Each features a private plunge pool and large deck, indoor lounge space, and an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor shower options. Contemporary furnishings in a calm, neutral palette complement natural textures of timber and thatch. Thoughtful amenities—quality linens, climate control, and discreet Wi-Fi—support comfort between activities. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites soft Okavango light into the room while keeping you connected to the sights and sounds of the bush. A separate two-bedroom suite (bookable on request) caters to families or small parties seeking added exclusivity.
Facilities
The camp’s elevated central area hosts a lounge, bar, and dining spaces leading to a decked firepit and boma for atmospheric evenings under the stars. A main pool offers a cool midday retreat, while the spa provides restorative massages and treatments after long game drives. Dining combines fresh, contemporary cuisine with classic bush hospitality, and flexible setups enable surprise breakfasts or private dinners on request. Power is reliably supplied, and Wi-Fi is available in main areas and pavilions. Scenic helicopter flights can be arranged at extra cost, and curated boutique items are available in the on-site safari shop.
