Activities at Chief's Camp

Game activities are predominantly land-based at Chief's Camp given the camp's location with the Moremi Game Reserve. Ancient mopane forests, lagoons, islands, seasonal floodplains and open grassland act as a glorious game sanctuary on the slightly higher ground of Moremi. The rangers of Chief's Camp are experienced and passionate about the area and this contributes to the excellent safari experience.

An added bonus is that mokoro excursions through the narrow channels of the Okavango delta departing from just in front of the lodge, are on offer during the seasonal flood aiding in the perfect safari holiday (seasonal).

The camp also have a spa and fitness centre available.

Sanctuary Chief's Camp lies within the Moremi Game Reserve, a national park, which means that night drives and bush walks are not allowed by the park authorities. Though the game-viewing more than makes up for it, we recommend that you combine a Moremi camp such as Chief's Camp with a camp in a private concession of the Delta to get the best of both worlds.

Chiefs Camp also has a Euro-chopper (very quiet helicopter) which can be pre-booked or booked in camp for game-viewing flights with special pivot seats in staggered formation to gain the best photographic opportunities.
