We love shining a spotlight on accommodation across Africa that we think are out of the ordinary. Properties that offer something unlike anywhere else; properties with a sense of place, belonging and that ‘special something’ which stays with you long after your return home. Located in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Daunara Safari Camp is such a place.
Catered to exclusive-use bookings, so perfect for families, multi-generational parties and groups, the camp is made up of just five tents. Designed with care, intention and an incredible attention to detail, this contemporary luxurious property manages to truly feel like a home; one which is both incredibly comfortable and catered to all ages. This is a place for privacy and exclusivity, and having nature – and the Delta – all to yourselves.
As an exclusive-use property, activities throughout the day are tailormade around guests. Stand-out experiences include exploring the solar system with an incredibly knowledgeable on-property astronomer, doors-off helicopter flights above the stunning landscape below and a ‘Life with Elephants’ tour in the traditional Hambukushu village of Eretsha, set up by a local NGO.
Safari experiences are made more meaningful as they are linked to Daunara’s conservation efforts; the property’s own foundation works to preserve the surrounding ecosystem and community. Custom tours help visitors learn more about the complexities of animal and human coexistence.
However, what truly makes Daunara unique is its team. Led by Nadia, the camp manager, the warm and friendly staff really complete the experience. We had our first AMADI guests stay at Daunara in August. Their stay evoked the following:
“There is truly the feeling of being a home. This is due to the people, the community close by and the fact that it is exclusive use. On the last day, we simply didn’t want to leave.”
We hope you’ve enjoyed this virtual visit.
